Memory Features
Memory Channel Storage
The 99 memory channels in the FT-1000 each store
frequency, mode, filter selection and clarifier settings
copied from the main display into the displayed mem-
ory channel number when the yellow VFO-A > M button
is pressed and held for !/2-second. The data to be copied
from the main display may be either in the main vfo
(A), or in a memory that has been retuned.
Example: to store 14.25 MHz in memory channel 10.
¢ First tune the main vfo (A) to the desired frequency.
To do this with the keypad (as just one of several
ways it could be done), press ENT and then the keys
with the (yellow) numbers 1 425000, followed by
the ENT key once more. Also select the desired mode
and BANDWIDTH filter.
¢ Next rotate the MEM knob until 10cw is displayed (to
select the channel number to store).
¢ Now just press and hold the yellow VFO-A > M button
for 1/2-second, until a double beep sounds from the
key beeper (confirming that the memory has been
stored).
If you have the clarifier set for some offset, and
either receive or transmit clarifier functions activated,
these settings are also stored in the memory.
Checking Stored Memories
One memory channel number is displayed at all
times (just to the left of the cw at the right center of the
display). You can change the selected channel number
by rotating the MEM knob at the right edge of the front
panel.
If you rotate this knob while receiving on a vfo or a
retuned memory, M CK will appear blinking above the
channel number, and the mode and frequency previ-
ously stored in the selected channel will be displayed in
place of the sub vfo data, until a few seconds after you
stop turning the knob. Try that now.
You can also view memory frequencies and modes
by pressing the M CK button beneath the main tuning
knob, in which case memory channel data (and m Ck,
non-blinking) will be displayed until you press M CK
again to return the display to the sub vfo. Of course, if
nothing has been stored in a memory, you will not see
any frequency or mode displayed — just the two deci-
mal points in place of the sub vfo display.
Also, after recalling a memory to the main display
as described next, as long as you haven't retuned it, you
can view the other memories by turning the MEM knob.
In this case, however, reception will shift to each mem-
ory as it appears on the main frequency display:

Memory Channel Operation/Recall
To recall data stored in a memory channel for opera-
tion, you can either copy it into the main vfo, or you can
switch operation from the main vfo to the memories.
The M > VFO-A button can be used to copy the current
memory channel data into the main vfo, by pressing
and holding this button for !/2-second. Pressing it only
momentarily shows you the contents of the memory,
without actually overwriting the vfo data. (Otherwise,
when you press and hold this button, the previous
contents of the vfo are lost).
In most situations, however, you may find it more
convenient to simply switch operation from the main
vfo to the memory, by pressing the VFO/MEM button to
the right of the yellow button, near the lower right. This
method allows you to leave any settings in the main vfo
undisturbed, so you can instantly recall them just by
pressing VFO/MEM again.
When actually operating on a memory channel, MEM
appears at the left side of the display (instead of VFO),
and you can rotate the MEM knob to select any previ-
ously-stored memory for operation.
If you change frequency, mode, filter or clarifier
settings while operating on a memory, MEM On the dis-
play is replaced with M TUNE. This makes each memory
just as flexible as the main vfo. If you want to save any
changes you have made to a memory channel, just
rotate the MEM knob (if you want to store the new
settings into another channel), and press the yellow
YFO-A = M button for 1/2-second until the double beep
sounds (of course you needn't turn the MEM knob if you
want to overwrite the memory channel you're on now).
Note that in this instance the labelling of the VFO-A > M
button is somewhat deceptive: the settings of the main
vfo, which are hidden at this point, are not actually
involved in this operation at all, since those of the
recalled memory have taken their place.
If you just want to cancel any changes you have
made to a recalled memory, press VFO/MEM once (MEM
will be displayed again), and press it again if you want
to return to the main vfo (A).
Dual channel reception, split operation and all types
of diversity reception can be activated while operating
on amemory, in which case the recalled memory simp-
ly replaces the main vfo settings.
Note: There is a "back door" feature of memory
operation that does affect the main vfo — that is sub-
band selection. Memories do not actually store their
own subband settings like those used by the main and
sub vfos (by pressing the keypad key for the band that
