each store frequency,
mode, and narrow filter selections (for CW and
AM modes). When you recall a memory, these op-
erating parameters are displayed. These can be
used to store your favorite station frequencies for
convenient recall, listening and scanning. Memo-

when searching within a band for new signals
(memory and band scan operation is covered in the
next chapter).
Memory Storage
To store a displayed frequency into memory
simply pressand hold the yellow-labeled VFO
rc
M
button for longer than 1/2 second. Memory chan-
nels Lo,

contain default frequencies of
,150.00 MHz, 30.000.00 MHz, and 7.000.00 MHz
respectively and can be re-programmed at any
time. Let's begin with a simple example of storing
a displayed frequency into a memory channel.
Example: Store 2.1 82 MHz from VFO into memwy
channel 10.
0 First press VFOIM to select VFO opera-
t i ~ n ( ~ ' V F o " will appear at the left of the dis-
play), select USB mode, then tune to the desired
frequency (2.1 820.00).
0 Next, press VFOIMEM again to select memory
operation("MEM" will appear at the left of the
display).
0 Rotate the MEM
DWN
H
UP
control to select a
memory channel (channel :3 in this example).
The memory channel number selected will be
displayed at the far right. Note: ensure that
FAST is not enabled as this only permits recall-
ing previously programmed memory channels.
0
Now press and hold the VFO
M
button for
longer than 112-second. Two beeps sound to
confirm the memory was stored. The display
will now show the memorized frequency.
To return to VFO tuning, press VFOIMEM.
Before storing or recalling a memory, you will
usually want to check its contents. From the VFO
mode, press VFOIMEM for memory operation and
use the MEM
DWN
tt
UP
control to browse through
the channels, or, without leaving the VFO mode,
simply rotate the MEM
DWN
H
UP
control (if you
don't mind the blinking display). Using either
method, both programmed and empty memory
channels will be displayed. If you wish to skip over
empty memory channels when browsing, press the
FAST key, then only programmed memories can
be recalled and displayed.
Checking and Programming Memories
From W O Mode
You may find that checking and programming
memories directly from the VFO mode more con-
venient than performing the keystroke sequence
previously described. After tuning the desired fre-
quency on the VFO, select the memory channel
you wish to store it in by simply rotating the MEM
DWN
tt
UP
control. As soon as you do this, the
frequency display, mode indicator, "MEM" and
channel number will begin blinking, and will con-
tinue to for 3 seconds, after which the display will
return to the VFO frequency if no further controls
are touched. This is normal, and alerts you that you
are checking memories while still in the VFO
mode.
0 The frequency read-out on the LCD will be
blank if the memory is vacant, or display it's
contents if programmed. As you rotate the MEM
DWN
t ,
UP
control, the corresponding memory
channel will be shown (as the display continues
to flash).
Auto Memory Arrangement
Memorized frequencies can be automatically
arranged in channel number order ascending
from lowest to highest frequency, starting
with memory channel
G
t'.
To d o this, turn off
the radio, then pressand hold the MEM VFO
key while turning on the power. Previous fre-
quencies will be rearranged in order, any va-
cant memory channels will be filled.
