ASPM
(Auto Station Program Memory)
At first, it is recommended that you store stations
in memory using ASPM.
(This memory can be used for PTY searches.)
When the ASPM button is pressed whilst tuned to
the FM band, the RDS (Radio Data System) func-
tion will automatically search for new RDS stations.
Up to 30 stations can be stored in memory. (If you
have already stored some stations in memory, the
number of new stations you can store will be less.)

After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds,
scanning will start. (87.50 - 108.00 MHz)
When an RDS station is found, "RDS" will ap-
pear first, and then "MEMORY" and the preset
channel number will flash for 2 seconds. Finally,
the station will be stored in memory.

After scanning, the number of stations that have
been stored in memory automatically will flash
for 4 seconds.
Notes:
Only RDS stations can be stored in memory.
If the same station is broadcasting on different
frequencies, the transmission with the strongest
broadcast frequency will be stored in memory.
Any station which has the same frequency as
one which has been already stored in memory
will not be stored again.

If a 30th station is stored in memory during a
scan, the scanning will stop at that station. The
number of stations will flash for 4 seconds.
If no stations have been stored in memory,
"0MEMORY" will appear for about 4 seconds.
If 30 stations have already been stored in
memory and the ASPM button is pressed,
"ASPM" will flash for 4 seconds and the scan will
be aborted.
If you want to redo the ASPM operation from the
beginning, erase the preset memory, and then
perform steps 1 - 4.
To stop the ASPM operation before it is
complete:
