Memory Operation; Memory Storage - Yaesu FT-2980E Operating Manual

Memory Operation

The FT-2980R/E provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include:
 200 "basic" memory channels, numbered "0" through "199".
 A "Home" channel, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency.
 10 sets of band-edge memories, also known as "Programmable Memory Scan"
channels, labeled "L0/U0" through "L9/U9".
 8 Memory Banks, labeled "BANK 1" through "BANK 8". Each Memory Bank can be
assigned up to 200 channels from the "basic" memory channels.
Each memory may be appended with an alpha-numeric label of up to six characters, for
quick channel recognition.

Memory Storage

1. In the VFO mode, select the desired frequency, repeater shift, CTCSS/DCS tone,
and TX power level.
2. Press and hold in the [ D/MR ( MW )] key for one second. A memory number will ap-
pear in the bottom right-hand corner of the display. If the channel number is blinking,
there currently is no data stored on that channel; if the channel number is not blink-
ing, that channel is currently "occupied" by other frequency data, and you won't want
to use that channel unless the data is no longer of interest.
3. Within five seconds of pressing the [ D/MR ( MW )] key, use the DIAL knob to select
the desired memory into which you wish to store the frequency.
4. Press the [ D/MR ( MW )] key again, this time momentarily, to store the displayed data
into the selected memory channel slot. The memory label will disappear (since you
are still operating in the VFO mode).
5. To store other frequencies, repeat steps 1 through 4, remembering to set the repeat-
er shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, and TX power level, as appropriate.
