Memory Operation; Convenient Memory Functions; Qmb ( Quick Memory Bank ) - Yaesu FT-991A Operating Manual

The FT-991A contains ninety-nine regular memories, labeled "01" through "99", nine special programmed band edge
memory pairs, labeled "P-1L/P-1U" through "P-9L/P-9U", and five QMB ( Quick Memory Bank ) memories. Each mem-
ory stores various settings, in addition to the VFO-A frequency and mode, but also stores the various settings shown be-
low. By default, the 99 regular memories are contained in one group; however, they can be arranged in up to six separate
groups, if desired.
Quick Point:
The FT-991A memory channels store the following
data ( not just the operating frequency ) :
 VFO-A Frequency
 VFO-A Mode
 Clarifier status and its Offset Frequency
 IPO status
 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
 CTCSS Tone information ( CTCSS Encode,
Decode ON/OFF; Tone Frequency )
 DCS information ( DCS On/Off, DCS Code )
The Quick Memory Bank consists of five memories independent from the regular and PMS memories. The QMB mem-
ories can quickly store operating parameters for later recall.
QMB Channel Storage
1. Tune to the desired frequency on VFO-A.
2. Press and hold the RCL/STO button for one second.
The "beep" will confirm that the VFO-A contents
have been written to the currently available QMB
memory.
Repeated one second presses of the RCL/STO but-
ton will write the VFO-A contents to successive QMB
memories.
Once all five QMB memories have data on them, previ-
ous data will be over-written on a first-in, first-out basis.
QMB Channel Recall
1. Press the RCL/STO button briefly. The current
QMB channel data will be shown on the frequency
display area. The "QMB" icon will also appear and
the Memory Mode indicators in the LED indicators
area will illuminate.
2. Repeated brief presses of the RCL/STO button will
toggle through the QMB channels.
3. Press the V/M button to return to the VFO or Memo-
ry mode.

Advice:
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.
