Labeling Memories - Yaesu VR-500 Operating Manual

Memory Mode
You may wish to append an alpha-numeric "Tag" (label) to a memory or memories, to aid
in recollection of the channel frequency's significance (such as a Broadcast Station name,
etc.). Alpha-numeric labels may be appended at the time of storage of the frequency data,
or at a later time. In either case, the storage process is basically identical.
An example of alpha-numeric label programming was presented earlier in summary form.
The section to follow will describe the process in more detail.
To label a previously-stored memory channel:
•
Recall the memory channel on which you wish to append a label.
‚
Press the [ENT(SET)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to
enable programming of the name tag. You will notice the first
entry's place blink.
ƒ
In the upper right-hand corner of the LCD, you will also ob-
serve either "ABC" or "123." If "ABC" is present, this indi-
cates that you are set up to enter letters; if "123" is present, this indicates that you are
set up to enter numbers. Rotate the main tuning DIAL so that "ABC" or "123" ap-
pears, based on the label you wish to program.
„
Press the keyboard to enter the desired letter or number.
Example 1: If you selected "ABC" in the previous step, press the [2(MW/MC)] key
repeatedly to toggle among the six available characters:
Example 2: If you selected "123" in the previous step, press the [2(MW/MC)] key to
enter the digit "2."
...
Rotate the DIAL knob clockwise while pressing the [FUNC] key to move the next
character.

Repeat steps
A total of eight characters may be used in the creation of a label.
‡
When you have completed the creation of the label, press the [ENT(SET)] key mo-
mentarily to save the label.
