The FT
1200 contains ninety-nine regular memories, labeled "01" through "99", nine special programmed limit
DX
memory pairs, labeled "P-1L/P-1U" through "P-9L/P-9U", and five QMB (Quick Memory Bank) memories, labeled "C-1"
through "C-5". Each stores various settings, in addition to the VFO-A frequency and mode (See below). By default, the
99 regular memories are contained in one group; however, they can be arranged in up to six separate groups, if desired.

The FT
1200 memory channels store the following
DX
data (not just the operating frequency):
VFO-A Frequency
VFO-A Mode
Clarifier status and its Offset Frequency
ANT status
IPO status
Roofing filter status and its Bandwidth
Attenuator status
Noise Blanker status
IF SHIFT and WIDTH status
CONTOUR status and its Peak Frequency
DSP Noise Reduction (DNR) status and its
Reduction algorithm selection.
DSP Notch filter (NOTCH) status
NAR bandwidth status
DSP Auto Notch filter (DNF) status
Repeater Shift Direction
The Quick Memory Bank consists of five memories (labeled "Q-1" through "Q-5") independent from the regular and
PMS memories. These can quickly store operating parameters for later recall.
QMB Channel Storage
1. Tune to the desired frequency on the VFO-A.
2. Press the blue [ STO ] button. The "beep" will con-
firm that the VFO-A contents have been written to
the currently available QMB memory.
If you repeatedly press the [ STO ] button, the QMB
memories will be written in the following order:
Q-2 Q-3 Q-4 Q-5 Q-1.
Once all five QMB memories have data on them, previ-
ous data (starting with channel Q-1) will be over-written
on a first-in, first-out basis.
QMB Channel Recall
1. Press the blue [ RCL ] button. The current QMB
channel data will be shown on the frequency dis-
play area. The "QMB" icon will also appear and the
Memory Mode indicators in the LED indicators area
will illuminate.
2. Repeatedly pressing the [ RCL ] button will toggle
you through the QMB channels:
Q-2 Q-3 Q-4 Q-5 Q-1.
3. Press the [ V/M ] button to return to the VFO or Mem-
ory mode.

Rotating the Main Tuning Dial knob, or changing the
operating mode, will place the transceiver in the "Mem-
ory Tune" mode, which is a temporary "pseudo-VFO"
method of tuning off of a stored memory channel. If you
do not over-write the contents of the current memory
channel, the original contents will not be disturbed by
the initiation of Memory Tune operation.
