Quick Memory Channels

Quick memory is a function that enables speedy registration of
temporary data without specifying a memory channel. For
example, this function is useful for registering the operating data
of the mobile station that this transceiver communicates with when
moving within a specific band to search for a DX station.
A quick memory channel can be called up only during operation in
the VFO mode. The following types of operating data can be
registered to a quick memory channel.
• Frequency/mode of VFO A and VFO B
• TX and RX functions
• Status of the RIT function
• Status of the XIT function
• RIT/XIT frequency
• Status of the FINE-tuning function
• Status of the noise blanker
• Noise reduction status
• Status of the beat canceler
• Status of the notch filter function
• RX filter

Registering a Quick Memory Channel

Up to 10 quick memory channels (Q0 to Q9) can be registered on
this transceiver. The latest operating data that is registered is
assigned to "Q0". Whenever operating data is newly registered,
the current registered data in "Q0" will be shifted to "Q1", while the
newly-registered data will occupy the "Q0" channel.
Press [<Q-M.IN] to register the operating data to the
quick memory channel.
• When in the VFO mode, pressing [<Q-M.IN] registers the
operating data to the channel 0.
• When in the quick memory channel mode, pressing [<Q-
M.IN] registers the operating data to the selected quick
memory channel.
• Each time new operating data is registered, the currently-
registered data will be shifted to the next larger channel
number.
When the memory channel mode is active, pressing [<Q-
●
M.IN] does not register data to a quick memory channel.
If all the quick memory channels are occupied with
●
registered data, pressing [<Q-M.IN] erases the oldest
operating data which is stored in the largest quick
memory channel number.

Calling up a Quick Memory Channel

Follow the steps below to call up a registered quick memory
channel.
1 Press [Q-MR>] to call up the operating data from the
quick memory channel.
Displays the quick memory channel number.
2 Turn the [MULTI/CH] control to switch the quick
memory channel.
• Pressing [Q-MR>] again exits the quick memory channel
mode and returns the transceiver to the VFO mode.
When data is retrieved from a memory channel for use
●
or when operating data is not registered to the quick
memory channel, pressing [Q-MR>] does not call up the
quick memory channel.
Temporary changes can be made to the frequency and
●
other operating data without affecting the operating data
that is registered in the quick memory channel. To
register the operating data after changes are made,
press [<Q-M.IN] to register it to a quick memory.

Configuring the Number of Quick Memory Channels

This transceiver comes with 10 quick memory channels (Q0 to
Q9). However, it is possible to customize the number of quick
memory channels for registering data.
Configure in Menu [4-00] "Number of Quick Memory
Channels"
Setting Value 3/ 5 (default)/ 10 [ch]
When the number of quick memory channels is reduced
●
from a larger to a smaller number, registered data that
exceeds the smaller number of channels will be erased.
The preconfigured number of quick memory channels
●
cannot be changed when a quick memory channel is
being called up.

Erasing a Quick Memory Channel

Follow the steps below to erase all registered operating data from
the quick memory channels.
1 Press [Q-MR>] to call up a quick memory channel.
2 Press and hold [Q-MR>].
A message appears which prompts the user to confirm deletion
of all the operating data in the quick memory channels.
.
3 Press F4 [OK] to erase the operating data.
• Operating data is erased from the quick memory channels
and the transceiver switches to the VFO mode.
• Pressing F7 [CANCEL] clears the confirmation message
without erasing the operating data from the quick memory
channels.
