Masking ("Hiding") A Memory; Memory Operation On "Home" Channel Memories - Vertex Standard FT-857 Operating Manual

・One touch of the V/M key returns you to the original memory frequency.
・A second touch of the V/M key will cause you to exit the Memory mode and return to the VFO mode (the memory
channel number will be replaced by "VFOa" or "VFOb."
When operating on a "Split" frequency memory, a special "–+" indication will appear on the LCD.

Masking ("Hiding") a Memory

Frequency data stored on a memory channel can be deleted, if desired, from any memory channel except channel "1." The
deletion process is not a "hard" erasure, so if you erase a channel by mistake using this procedure, the memory channel
contents can be recovered.
1. Press the [F] key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row "b" [MW,
SKIP, TAG] appears on the display.
2. Press the [A](MW) key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob to select the memory channel to be deleted.
3. Press the [B](MCLR) key momentarily. The frequency display field on the LCD will go blank, and the memory
channel number will blink.
4. Wait about five seconds; when the memory channel number stops blinking, the data will now be "masked" and will
not be available for operation.
5. To restore the masked frequency data, repeat the above steps. However, if you store new frequency information on a
channel containing masked data, the masked data will be over-written and lost.
6. Memory Channel 1 is used for Priority operation, and frequency information may only be over-written (not masked)
on this channel.
Four Special one-touch "Home" channels are available, for special frequencies you use often. Either "simplex" or "split"
frequency/mode data may be stored in the "Home" channel locations. Special "Home" channels are available for HF (any
frequency between 1.8 and 29.7 MHz), 50 MHz, 144 MHz, and 430 MHz.
These memories may prove particularly useful for monitoring propagation beacons, providing one-touch recall of the
beacon frequency for a quick check of band conditions.
HOME Channel Storage
1. Tune the desired frequency, and set the operating mode. If this is an FM channel, set up any required
CTCSS/DCS and repeater shift configurations.
2. Press the [F] key momentarily, then rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob, as needed, until Multi Function Row "b" [MW,
SKIP, TAG] appears on the display.
3. Press the [A](MW) key momentarily to enter the "Memory Check" mode.
