Memory Banks & Channels - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

To deactivate the bandscope, repeat the key sequence [FUNC] [7] or press the
[2VFO], [SRCH] or [SCAN] keys.
(7) Memory banks & channels
It is very convenient to store commonly used frequencies into a memory bank
along with mode and attenuator status, this saves having to key the data in
over and over again. Memory recall is very straightforward and quick when
compared to retyping all data.
Think of memory channels as pages in a notebook each of which is numbered
to identify it. Data may be written to each new page (memory channel) and
each page may be overwritten with new data, they can be used over and over
again.
Each memory channel may hold one frequency, mode, attenuator setting,
step and step offset data. Up to a seven character alphanumeric comment
may also be added for ease of identification at a latter date.
A total of 1000 memory channels are provided which are divided into 20 banks,
each having 50 channels. The memory banks are identified by letters A, B, C,
D, E, F, G, H, I, J (upper case letters) and a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j (lower case
letters) and numbered from 00 to 49.
Examples are "A00" for the first channel location in memory bank "A" and
"A49" for the last memory channel in memory bank "A".
"e15" is the location of memory bank "e" (lower case) channel "15".
It is possible to add a common four digit PASSWORD to the memory banks a,
b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j so that "special" frequencies may be stored and recall is
only possible once the PASSWORD has been entered... this should stop
preying eyes. If the PASSWORD is not set, then all memory banks may be
accessed and used in the standard manner.
When shipped from the factory in default NEWUSER mode, memory bank "J"
is reserved for auto-store of memory channels from search mode. Please refer
to section 15 of this manual for further information regarding AUTO-STORE.
The data contents of memory and search banks are held in an EEPROM so
that no backup battery or capacitor is required for memory retention.
The stored data may be quickly and easily recalled, changed or deleted using
the memory recall, edit and delete facilities.
Note: When the receiver is switched OFF, all VFO data will be automatically
stored into EEPROM memory storage. No battery or capacitor is required for
memory backup. Should the NiCads (or dry batteries if in use) become
completely exhausted, the last stored memory channel or last VFO data "may"
be lost.
