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 [ FUNC ] key momentarily, then rotate the SELECT 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 SELECT 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.
