Memory Operation - Yaesu FT-1500M Operating Manual

standard CTCSS encoding.
When you reply to a CTCSS Bell call, you may want to turn off the Bell function, or else the
transceiver will ring every time your squelch opens.
You can store the CTCSS Bell Paging function into a memory, along with the CTCSS tone and
encode/decode state.

Memory Operation

The FT-1500M provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include:
µ 120 "Standard" memory channels, numbered "1" through "120."
µ A Home channel, allowing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency.
µ Nine sets of band-edge memories also known as "Programming Memory Scan" channels, labeled
"L1/U1" through "L9/U9".
Memory Storage
To store a frequency into memory:
1. In the VFO mode, select the desired frequency, repeater shift, CTCSS tone, and TX power level.
2. Press and hold in the [D/MR] key for one second. A memory number (or letters and numbers) will
appear (blinking) on the display.
3. Within five seconds of pressing the [D/MR] key, use the Main Dial knob or the microphone' s
[UP]/[DWN] buttons to select the desired memory for storage. If you see an Asterisk (*) by any
channel number, it means that the channel currently has no data written on it (i.e the channel is
"free").
4. Press the [D/MR] key again, this time momentarily, to store the displayed data into the selected
memory channel slot. The memory label will stop blinking, and the display will now be blank,
except for a blinking digit at the left side of the display. If you wish to append a name to the just-
memorized channel, move quickly to the next step.
Note: If the left digit quits blinking, this indicates that the Alpha-Numeric Storage Timer has
expired. The frequency data will not be lost if this happens, however.
Labeling Memories
1. While the right-most digit is still blinking in step (4) above, rotate the Main Dial knob to select
the first character in the name you wish to store, then press the [D/MR] key to move on to the next
character. Letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols are available for storage.
2. Again rotate the Main Dial knob to select the desired number, letter, or symbol, then press the
[D/MR] key to move on to the next character' s slot.
3. Repeat step (2) as many times as necessary to complete the name tag for the memory, then press
and hold in the [D/MR] key for one second to save the A/N (Alpha-Numeric) name entry and exit
to normal operation.
Note: If you wish to append a label to a memory after the Alpha-Numeric Storage Timer has
expired, first recall the memory channel (see below), then press the [MHz] key for one second to enter
the Menu mode. Rotate the Main Dial to select Menu item #01 (ALPH), then press the [MHz] key
momentarily. You will now be ready to begin with step 1 above.
Memory Recall
From the VFO mode, momentarily press the [D/MR] key once to activate the "MR" (Memory Recall)
mode.
When more than one memory has been stored, use the Main Dial knob to select a memory for
operation. Alternatively, microphone' s [UP] and [DWN] buttons may be used to step or scan through
the available memories. When using the microphone's buttons, press and immediately release the
button to move one step up or down; press and hold the [UP] or [DWN] button for one second to begin
memory scanning.
While you are operating in the MR mode, the "MR" notation will appear at the left side of the display.
