Memo Pads - Icom IC-756PRO Instruction Manual

Memo pads

The transceiver has a memo pad function to store fre-
quency and operating mode for easy write and recall.
The memo pads are separate from memory channels.
The default number of memo pads is 5, however, this
can be increased to 10 in set mode if desired. (p. 71)
• Writing frequencies and operating
modes into memo pads
You can simply write the accessed readout frequency
and operating mode by pushing [MP-W].
When you write a 6th frequency and operating mode,
the oldest written frequency and operating mode are
automatically erased to make room for the new set-
tings.
Each memo pad must have its own unique combi-
nation of frequency and operating mode; memo
pads having identical settings cannot be written.
• Calling up a frequency from a memo
pad
You can simply call up the desired frequency and op-
erating mode of a memo pad by pushing [MP-R] one
or more times.
• Both VFO and memory modes can be used.
• The frequency and operating mode are called up, starting
from the most recently written.
When you call up a frequency and an operating mode
from memo pads with [MP-R], the previously dis-
played frequency and operating mode are automati-
cally stored in a temporary pad. The frequency and
operating mode in the temporary pad can be recalled
by pushing [MP-R] one or more times.
• You may think there are 6 memo pads because 6 different
frequencies (5 are in memo pads and 1 is in the tempo-
rary pad) are called up by [MP-R].
If you change the frequency or operating mode
called up from a memo pad with the tuning dial,
etc., the frequency and operating mode in the tem-
porary pad are erased.
Memo pads are convenient when you want to memo-
rize a frequency and operating mode temporarily, such
as when you find a DX station in a pile-up, or when a
desired station is busy for a long time and you want to
temporarily search for other stations.
Use the transceiver's memo pads instead of relying on
hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced.
