Memory Operation; Memory Storage - Yaesu FT-2800M Operatiing Manual

A wide array of memory resources are available on the FT-2800M. A total of 221 memories
are available, and each may be appended with an alpha-numeric label of up to six characters,
for quick channel recognition.
The "basic" memory bank for the FT-2800M consists of 200 memories. Let's learn the
simple procedure for storing and recalling a frequency, then we can move on to some of the
more advanced memory features.
To store a frequency into memory:
1. In the VFO mode, select the desired frequency, repeater shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, and
TX power level.
2. Press and hold in the [ D/MR ( MW )] key for one second. A memory number will appear
in the bottom right-hand corner of the display. If the channel number is blinking, there
currently is no data stored on that channel; if the channel number is not blinking, that
channel is currently "occupied" by other frequency data, and you won't want to use that
channel unless the data is no longer of interest.
3. Within five seconds of pressing the [ D/MR ( MW )] key, use the DIAL knob to select the
desired memory into which you wish to store the frequency.
4. Press the [ D/MR ( MW )] key again, this time momentarily, to store the displayed data
into the selected memory channel slot. The memory label will disappear (since you are
still operating in the VFO mode).
5. To store other frequencies, repeat steps 1 through 4, remembering to set the repeater
shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, and TX power level, as appropriate.
The above procedure will be used for virtually all memory storage circumstances.
If you need to program a frequency pair that uses a non-standard shift ("odd
split"), use the procedure described on page 23.
