Home Channel Memory; Memory Offset Tuning; Memory Only Mode Oo - Yaesu FT-1500M Operating Manual

Memory Operation
HOME Cuannec Memory
A convenient one-touch "Home" channel memory is available to simplify return to your
most-often-used frequency. This memory does not appear in the regular memory bank, to
simplify operation.
To recall the Home channel while in the MR mode, just press the [D/MR] key momen-
tarily. From the WFO mode, press [D/MR] twice. While you are operating on the Home
channel, an "HM" notation will appear at the left side of the display.
The factory default frequency for the Home channel is 144.000 MHz. You can re-program
the Home channel in a manner identical to that used for the regular memories:
@ From the VFO mode, tune in the frequency you wish to store, and set all repeater shifts
and other data just the way you do for "normal" memory channel storage.
MEMORY OFFSET TUNING
Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may tune off that channel, as
though you were in the VFO mode.
@ With the FT-1500M in the "MR" mode, select the desired memory channel.
@ Press the [MHz] key momentarily.
@ Now rotate the Main Dial knob, as desired, to tune to a new frequency. This new fre-
quency may be stored in a new memory register, if you like, using the procedures
described earlier.
Memory Onty Move
Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a
"Memory-Only" mode, whereby VFO and Home channel operation are impossible. This
may be particularly useful during public-service events where a number of operators may
be using the radio for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory-Only mode. turn it off. Now press and hold in the
[MHz] and [D/MR] key while turning the radio on. The VFO and Home channel will now
be disabled.
To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure.
