Programmable Memory (Pm); Application Examples - Kenwood TM-D710A (K type) Instruction Manual

Programmable Memory (PM) stores virtually all settings currently set on the transceiver. This transceiver provides 5 PM
channels to store 5 sets of transceiver configurations. Later, you can quickly recall any one of these channels, depending
on the operations you have in mind or the operating environment.
The following programmable settings cannot be stored:
• Memory name
• Memory channel lockout
• Channel Display mode
• Locked-band/ Cross-band Repeater ON/OFF
• Repeater mode 1
• Repeater hold 1
• Repeater ID transmit
• Registered repeater ID
• Wireless remote control
• Answer back 1
• Remote control ID 1
• Key lock
• Power on password
• Memory channel/ Call channel/ Program scan memory
• Weather channel
1
• DTMF memory
• EchoLink memory
• COM port speed
• PC port speed
• Microphone sensitivity
• 10 MHz mode 2
• Input/output level (DATA terminal)
• SQC data output logic
1 K type only
2 Can be set only by using the MCP-2A software.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

The following are examples of how you might use
Programmable Memory. These examples may not
represent applications useful to you, but you will
understand the flexibility of this function.
1
Situation: You share your transceiver with other
members in your family or club. However, each individual
has personal preferences for how they like to set various
functions. You have to keep changing many settings each
time you use the transceiver.
Solution: Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5
persons can separately program the transceiver and store
their customized environment. Then each person can
quickly change to his or her favorite settings, simply by
recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change
back the settings after somebody else has reconfigured
them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich
transceiver but never using many useful features.
Situation: While operating mobile on the way to work
every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does
not interrupt the morning calm. In addition, you feel that
a bright display is useless in the sunlight. At night when
driving home, you realize the Beep function truly does
serve a purpose and you acknowledge it is nice to see a
bright display after dark.
Solution: In 2 PM channels, store the same operating
data such as frequency, offset, tone, etc, and store
different settings for the Display brightness and Beep
functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for
day or night operation.
Situation: You cannot figure out how to exit the current
transceiver mode.
Solution: Simply recall PM channel 1, which contains an
exact copy of the transceiver default environment. You
will not lose the contents of any memory channels.
