Memory Mode
You may wish to append an alpha-numeric "Tag" (label) to a memory
or memories, to aid
in recollection of the channel's use (such as a club name, etc .) . This is
easily accomplished
using the Set mode .
LABELING MEMORIES
Recall the memory channel on which you wish to append a label.
Press the [FIW]
key, then press the
[BAND(SET)AR]
key, to enter the Menu mode .
Rotate the DIAL
to select Menu #03
("NAME SET") .
Press the [BAND(SET)AR]
key momentarily to enable programming of the name tag.
Rotate the DIAL
to select the first digit of the desired label . When you have made your
selection, press the
[BAND(SET)AR]
key momentarily to move to the next character.
Repeat the previous step to program the remaining letters , numbers, or
symbols of the
desired label. A total of eight characters may be used in the creation of
a label.
When you have completed the creation of the label, press the PTT
key to save the
label and exit .
During "MR" (Memory Recall) operation, press and hold in the
[2(CD)TAG]
key for one
second to activate the alphanumeric Tag . Repeatedly pressing and holding
in this key will
toggle operation between "Frequency only" display and "Frequency +
Tag" display.
MEMORY OFFSET TUNING
Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off
that channel,
as though you were in the "VFO" mode .
With the
VX-5R
in the "MR" (Memory Recall) mode, select the desired memory chan-
nel .
Now press the [MR(SKP)SC]
key momentarily . The "MR"
indicator will be replaced
by one which says
"MT"
("Memory Tuning") .
Rotate the
DIAL,
as desired, to tune to a new frequency. The synthesizer steps selected
for VFO operation on the current band will be the steps used during
Memory Tuning .
If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, press the
[MR(SKP)SC]
key
momentarily. The "MT"
indicator will be replaced by "MR" .
If you wish to store a new frequency set during Memory Tuning,
just press and hold in
the
[FIW]
key for one second, per normal memory storage procedure . The micropro-
cessor will automatically set itself to the next-available clear memory
location, and
you then press
[FIW]
again to lock in the new frequency.
If you want to replace the original memory contents with those of the
newfre-
^°
quency, be sure to rotate the DIAL
to the original memory channel number!
Any required CTCSSIDCS changes, or repeater offset modifications,
must be
done before storing the data into the new (or original) memory channel
location.
VX-5R OPERATING MANUAL
MASKING MEMORIES
Memory Mode
')[here may be
situations where you want to
"Mask" memories so they are not visible
during
netnory selection or
scanning . For example, several
memories used only in a city you
visit
h*equently may be stored, then
"Masked" until you visit that city, at
which time you can
"Unmask" them for normal
use.
0 Press the
[MR(SKP)SC]
key, if needed, to enter the MR
mode .
(2) 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
[FIW]
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 "new
available memory "technique
(look for the
I ~k I
icon) storage technique to avoid
over-writing a masked memory.
