MEMORY CHANNELS

■ Programming

This is the method most often used to program
memory channels.
q Select the desired memory channel.
w Set the desired frequency.
• When the memory channel already contains information,
change the frequency using the main dial or the keypad.
• When the memory channel is blank, use keypad entry
only to set the frequency.
e Set operating mode (p. 13) and tuning steps (p. 12).
r Push and hold [MW] until the receiver emits 3
beeps.
• The information is stored in the memory channel.
NOTE: When changing the memory channel
before pushing [MW], the set frequency (and
mode/tuning steps) is erased.

■ Copy and paste (memory editing)

When the frequency (and mode/tuning steps) is set
for a channel; or, when you want to change a fre-
quency using the contents of another memory chan-
nel, the copy/paste function is helpful to keep (or
confirm) the previously programmed contents.
q Push [M-SET] to temporarily store the displayed
frequency, mode, etc.
• "M" appears.
• Only 1 channel can be stored in the temporary space.
w Select the memory channel you wish to program
the frequency into.
e Push [M-SET] again to paste the stored contents.
• "M" disappears.

■ Clearing

Information programmed into a memory channel can
be cleared (erased).
q Select the memory channel to be cleared.
w Push and hold [M-CL] until the receiver emits 3
beeps.
✔ Convenient: Bank assign function
Using the bank assign function, memory channels
can be removed (along with their programmed con-
tents) from a particular memory bank and placed
temporarily in the 'free' bank. See p. 21.
