Alpha-Numeric Memory Recall - Yaesu VR-500 Operating Manual

Memory Mode
You can use the VR-500's powerful microprocessor system to search for Memory Chan-
nels according to their alpha-numeric label. In the example below, we shall set up the VR-
500 to find all channels programmed with "POLICE" as an alpha-numeric label (e.g. PO-
LICE 1, POLICE 2, etc.).
•
Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [CLR(P.SET)] key.
‚
Press the [ENT(SET/NAME)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to activate the
"Set" (Menu) mode.
ƒ
Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #15 [Find Name].
„
Rotate the DIAL knob one click while pressing the [FUNC] key to enable setup of

Alpha-Numeric Memory Recall.

...
Program the alpha-numeric "label" which you wish to recall
using the DIAL knob and keypad, as described previously.
In this case, program "POLICE" as the label. Now press the
[ENT(SET/NAME)] key (do not press the [FUNC] key in
this step).
†
Now press the [CLR(P.SET)] key to exit to normal operation.
‡
Press the [1(MEMO)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to return to the Memory
mode.
ˆ
Rotate the DIAL knob. You will observe that only channels beginning with "POLICE"
are now appearing on the display.
‰
To return to normal Memory Recall operation, re-enter the "Set" (Menu) mode, select
Menu #15, then clear the alpha-numeric "Tag." The easiest way to do this is to enter
[ • (STEP)] (from the "ABC" selection option) for each digit in the alpha-numeric
label within Menu #15.
Important Note: You can recall Memory Channels alpha-numerically using just one or
two letters of a label within Menu #15. In the above example, if you
programmed "PO" in Menu #15 instead of "POLICE," you could then
recall channels such as "PONTIAC," "PORTER," "PORTLAND," and
"POWER" in addition to "POLICE." But it you set "POR" in Menu
#15, only "PORTER" and "PORTLAND" would be recalled.
