There may be situations where you want to "Mask" memories so they are not visible during
memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city you visit
infrequently may be stored, then "Masked" until you visit that city, at which time you can
"Unmask" them for normal use.
Press the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key, if needed, to enter the MR mode.
Press and hold in the [ F/W ] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL to select the
memory channel to be "Masked" from view.
Press the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key. The display will revert to memory channel #1. If you
rotate the DIAL to the location you just "Masked," you will observe that it is now
invisible.
To Unmask the hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the
[ F/W ] key for one second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory's number,
then press [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] to restore the memory channel's data.
Watch out! You can manually store data over a "Masked" memory, deleting
previous data, if you're not careful. Use the "next available memory" technique
(look for the [ ] icon) storage technique to avoid over-writing a masked memory.
Memory Group Assignment
Recall the memory channel to be assigned to a Memory Group.
Press and hold the [ F/W ] key for one second, then press the numbered key ([1] ~ [5])
you want as the Memory Group for this channel.
Now memory channel data is copied into the Memory Group.
Memory Group Recall
Press the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key to recall the Memory mode.
Press [ F/W ] then [ 4 ( MG ) DSP ] to activate the "Memory Group" mode.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Memory
Group ("
Press the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key momentarily to lock in
the selected Memory Group.
In the Memory Group, you selects the memory chan-
nel in the current memory group only (up to 24 channels).
To exit the Memory Group, press [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] then [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] to return to the
(non-grouped) Memory mode.
