Memory Operation; Simple ~1Ernory Storage - Yaesu VX-1R Manual

Memory Operation
Your YX-IR's extensive memory system allows stor-
ing favorite frequencies for recall later.
You have a choice of two memory configurations, or
Groups, from which you can choose the one best
suited to your operating needs. These are:
Configuration Group 1: 52 Memories which store
simplex or semi-duplex frequencies (including "odd
splits") and Tone Mode and Frequency.
Configuration Group 2: 142 "Simplex" Memories
which can, nonetheless, store repeater shifts and
Tone Mode (but not Tone Frequency).
The Memories in both configurations can store
Power Output level, Memory Skip condition and Al-
phanumeric Memory Labels.
Each configuration also has 10 BC Band memories
(unaffected by switching configurations); 10 pairs of
"Band Limit" memories, described later under Pro-
grammable
Band Scanning (page 37); and 31 Smart
Search Memories, described on page 39.
As shipped from the factory, the memories are con-
figured to Group I, which provides the most compre-
hensive memory storage and recall features. If you
prefer using the memories to store non-Amateur fre-
quencies and need more than 52 memories (using the
YFO mode for Amateur operations), you may wish to
switch to Configuration Group 2.
To change Memory Groups, use this procedure:
O
Turn the transceiver off by holding in the
PWR
key
for 1 second.
O
Hold the
~·
key while pressing the
PWA
key
to
turn the transceiver on. When the radio comes on,
GFIP ··
2
is displayed on the LCD. You can now
release the two keys.
Note! Most bands share the same set of memory
numbers (1, 2, 3, ... ) to simplify the storage process.
For example,
if
a V-HAM channel is stored in
Memory 1, Memory 1
is
not available on any other
band (except BC BAND). So the total number of
memories is 52 for Group 1and142 for Group 2
(plus 10 for the BC BAND in both Groups), not 52
or 142 per band.
Simple Memory Storage
Storage of frequencies is very simple in the YX-IR.
Here are the basic steps:
O
Be sure you are in the YFO mode (no memory
number shown above the frequency display).
O
Turn the Dial to select the desired frequency.
O
Important: Set up any CTCSS/DCS tone condi-
tions you want, along with any needed repeater
shift, and transmit power level.
