Memory Tuning; Masking Memories - Yaesu FT-2980E Operating Manual

Memory Operation

Memory Tuning

Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off that channel,
as though you were in the VFO mode.
1. With the FT-2980R/E in the Memory Recall mode, se-
lect the desired memory channel.
2. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key momentarily. The "MR" in-
dicator will blink and the Memory Channel Number will
disappear; these indicates that the "Memory Tuning"
mode has been engaged.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob, or press the [ UP ] or [ DWN ] keys,
to tune to a new frequency. The synthesizer steps you
have selected for "VFO" operation will be the steps used
during Memory Tuning.
4. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency,
press the [ D/MR ( MW )] key momentarily. The "MR" indi-
cator will stop blinking and the Memory Channel Num-
ber will reappear.
5. If you wish to store into memory a new frequency set
during Memory Tuning, just press and hold in the [ D/MR ( MW )] key for one second,
then complete the normal memory storage procedure. Be sure to select an open
memory channel when doing so.

Masking Memories

There may be situations where you want to "Mask" memories so they are not visible
during memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city
you visit infrequently may be stored, then "Masked" until you visit that city, at which time
you can "Unmask" them for normal use. (except for Memory Channel "0", the Priority
Channel, and the Home Channel).
1. With the FT-2980R/E in the Memory Recall mode, press and hold in the [ D/MR ( MW )]
key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the memory channel you wish
to delete.
2. Press the [ LOW ( A/N )] key momentarily. The display will revert to memory channel "0".
The previously-selected memory will be "masked".
3. To Unmask a hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the [ D/
MR ( MW )] key for one second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory's num-
ber, then press the [ LOW ( A/N )] key to restore the memory channel's data.
You can manually store data over a "Masked" memory, deleting previous
data, if you're not careful. Use the "next available memory" technique (look
for the blinking memory channel number) storage technique to avoid over-writing
a masked memory.
