Memory Mode; Memory Storage; Simple Storage - Yaesu VR-500 Operating Manual

The VR-500 provides 1000 "standard" memory channels, numbered "000" through "999."
Memory channels may be used to store frequencies of particular interest, for convenient
recall without the need to scan through an entire operating band.
These memories are partitioned into ten Memory Banks, each
holding up to 100 memory channels. The Memory Bank number
is the first digit of the Memory Channel number, so Memory Chan-
nel 005 is in Memory bank "0," while Memory Channel 425 is in
Memory Bank "4."
Two forms of memory storage are available on the VR-500:
• "Simple" memory storage automatically memorizes the desired frequency into the
next-available unused memory channel register (without regard to any particular
memory channel number).
• "Designated" memory storage allows you to assign the frequency data to any desired
memory channel number.

Simple Storage

•
While operating in the VFO mode, select the desired frequency and reception mode
(AM, NFM, etc.) for the station to be memorized.
‚
Press and hold in the [FUNC] key, then press the [2(MW/MC)]
key momentarily. The microprocessor will automatically se-
lect the next-available "open" memory channel (a memory reg-
ister on which no data has been stored). On the left side of the
display, a three-digit number will appear, indicating the chan-
nel number which will be used for channel data storage. On the right side, "MW/NAME?"
will appear ("MW" stands for "Memory Write").
ƒ
If you wish to append an alpha-numeric label (name) to the channel, press and hold in
the [FUNC] key, then press the [ENT(SET/NAME)] key. Now skip to step
Labeling Memories section below, and perform steps
„
Now, press the [2(MW/MC)] key once more while still holding in the [FUNC] key.
This stores the frequency into the memory. "WRITE!" will appear on the right side of
the display, to confirm that the frequency data was successfully stored.
Note: You must press the [2(MW/MC)] key per this step whether or not you are ap-
pending an alpha-numeric label to a memory.
