There may be situations where you want to "Mask" memories so they are not visible
during memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city
you visit infrequently may be stored, then "Masked" until you visit that city, at which time
you can "Unmask" them for normal use.
Press the [ MR/MW ( SKIP ) ] key, if needed, to enter the MR mode.
Press and hold in the [ MR/MW ( SKIP ) ] key for 1/2 second, then rotate the DIAL to
select the memory channel to be "Masked" from view.
Press the [ F/L ] key. The display will revert to memory channel #1. If you rotate the
DIAL to the location you just "Masked," you will observe that it is now invisible.

[ MR/MW ( SKIP ) ] key for 1/2 second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory's
number, then press [ F/L ] to restore the memory channel's data.
This allows operation only on stored memories, which are displayed by name (if any) at
the right, and the memory channel number to the left. No frequency is displayed, and only
"CH. nn nn nn nn " will appear if you haven't assigned an Alphanumeric name to a memory.
