4 Memory extensions
4-1 More memories
Memory capacity is extended to 400 frequency memories.
The extra memories are exactly the same as the first 100
except that the range of memory numbers is extended
from 000 to 399. See the operating manual, section 8 .
All of the memories can be selected using the spin-wheel
in one of the memory menus but because it takes a long
time to step through 400 memories, using the infrared
controller is recommended. Memory numbers can be one,
two or three digits long, leading zeros are optional. The
first digit of a three digit memory number can be 0, 1, 2 or
3. If a number higher than 3 is entered, 3 will be
assumed.
The memory scanning system is restricted to any group
of 100 memory channels - in other words the "hundreds"
digit of the memory number will not change when
scanning. By allocating a few memories in each group for
scanning this allows up to 4 scanning sets to be used
without re-programming the scan setup.
See the operating manual section 8-4 for scanning
details. The first and last scan channels are set up as
described, the "hundreds" digit for the scan is taken from
the current memory number - it can be changed by
keying in a memory number from the infrared controller
or going back to the MEMORY menu and using the spin-
wheel.
4-2 Text identification
Each memory can have a text identification added to
make selection easier and help you keep track of what is
stored. Each ident can be up to 14 characters long - any
characters, letters, numbers and symbols can be used.
All idents are entered or changed using the memory
editor.
Whenever a new frequency is stored in a memory the text
ident in that memory is cleared (set to a blank ident) so
that a new frequency is not labelled with an old ident. An
exception - if the new frequency is within 1.5kHz of the
frequency previously stored in the memory in which case
the ident is left unchanged. This allows mode or filter
changes or slight shifts to PBS or tuning to be made and
re-stored without loosing the ident text. Additionally, the
store frequency operation in the memory editor does not
affect any ident text so this is more suitable for changing
memory frequencies when the ident needs retaining.
4-3 Ident preview
The idents can be displayed whenever memories are
selected in which case the receiver's tuned frequency is
replaced with the ident text for three seconds after the
memory number is changed. Blank idents are not
displayed, and the tuned frequency is re-displayed
immediately if the receiver is tuned. The text ident is also
displayed when the
[PREVIEW]
controller is pressed.
The ident preview facility can be turned on or off using the
Ident preview: setting in the CONFIG menu (see section
button on the infrared
3.1 ) and this setting is stored in each of the setup
memories A, B and C.
4-4 Ident search
The ident search facility can be initiated automatically or
manually. In automatic mode, whenever the receiver's
frequency is changed (after tuning or a memory recall)
the set searches through all the 400 memory channels for
a similar frequency entry (within about 1.5kHz of the
tuned frequency). If a match is found then the text ident
for that memory is displayed for 10 seconds.
Idents found during a search are displayed where the s-
meter is normally shown, and the ident search only
operates when the s-meter is displayed (so that it doesn't
obscure any menu text). The three menu buttons below
the ident text operate as if the s-meter was shown.
Manual search for a matching memory is started by
pressing the
[MENU]
displayed. Any idents found will displayed along with the
memory number (at the top left) until another button is
pressed. In fact the
[MENU]
as switching between s-meter and idents.
The search starts at memory 000, finds the first matching
memory frequency and displays that ident. If there are
several memories with the same frequency stored (for
example a shared channel) the turning the spin-wheel
under <Id> will cause the search to continue forwards or
backwards and find any more matches. If no more are
found then No Ident is displayed at the top left.
Pressing the
button will return the left hand menu
[Back]
to its previous state, leaving the ident displayed. The
ident will revert to s-meter if the receiver is tuned.
The automatic ident search facility can be turned on or off
using the Ident auto search: setting in the CONFIG
menu (see section 3.1 ) and this setting is stored in each
of the setup memories A, B and C.
4-5 Memory editor
The memory editor is a new feature of the enhanced
processor and allows memory data to be moved and
copied around the 400 memories. The editor is also
where text identifiers can be entered or changed.
To start the memory editor, go to the SETUP menu
(press the
button if necessary) and then press
[O ]
The number of the memory being edited is displayed
above, and can be changed by, the spin-wheel. Its
frequency and text identifier is displayed on the top line of
the LCD. Memory numbers can also be entered from the
infrared controller using either the
buttons.
