Storing Receive Data Into Memory - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

During the manufacture and testing of the receiver, various test frequencies are
entered into the receiver's memory banks so the memory locations are unlikely
to be completely blank.
Note: Where memory banks etc are empty the indication "- - -" is often
displayed.
7-1 Storing receive data into memory - memory input in VFO mode
Lets assume that you wish to store the frequency of 88.3 MHz with the
attenuator Off into memory bank "A" location "00" (A00) while in VFO mode.
Start by selecting VFO mode then key in the frequency of 88.3 MHz, "mode
and step size" are set to the default AUTO.
[2VFO] to place the receiver into VFO mode
[8] [8] [.] [3] [ENT] to select the desired frequency, the mode and step
size will be automatically set by the AR8000 microprocessor.
Press and hold the [ENT] key for more than one second to enter
memory input mode.
The third line of the LCD will display the legend "BANK" and the highlight
cursor will be positioned over the bank identification letter such as "A".
The microprocessor will automatically select the
youngest free memory location. You may change
the bank identifier at this time by rotating the [DIAL]
on the top cabinet or by typing in a new letter using
the numeric keypad.
Note: You will notice that to the right of the keypad
numbers, there are small orange letters which are
bank identifiers. Key 1 is "A", key 2 is "B" etc. The
lower case bank identifiers may be accessed using the CASE SHIFT key [.Aa].
Remember, if you take too long entering data (90 seconds) the display
will revert to it's original condition (2VFO mode).
Assuming that you wish to store 88.3 MHz in the very first memory channel
irrespective of what may already be stored there press [1A] then select the first
channel by pressing [0] [0] Next type [ENT] to accept the memory location.
The highlight cursor will move to the fourth line to the
right of the legend "TXT". Should you wish to change
the alphanumeric comment rotate the [DIAL] on the
top cabinet until the chosen letter or symbol is
displayed. A maximum word length of seven
characters may be chosen. To move to the right
and left character positions use the arrow keys.
