After storing a Memory Name, the Memory Name appears in place of the operating frequency. However, you can still display the operating frequency, if desired. To display the frequency rather than Memory Name, access Menu No. This menu toggles the display mode between the Memory Name ("MN") and frequency display ("FRQ"). Note: You cannot name the Call Channel {page 35}. You cannot assign a Memory Name to a channel that does not contain data. You can overwrite stored names by repeating steps 1 to 8. The stored name is erased when you clear the Memory Channel data. 4 Turn the Tuning control to select a desired alphanumeric character. · You can enter the following alphanumeric characters: 0 ~ 9, A ~ Z, ­ (hyphen), / (slash), and a space. · Rather than using the Tuning control, you can use the Mic keypad (keypad models only) to enter alphanumeric characters {page 64}. 32 MEMORY CHANNEL TRANSFER MEMORY \ VFO TRANSFER After retrieving frequencies and associated data from Memory Recall Mode, you can copy the data to the VFO. This function is useful, for example, when the frequency you want to monitor is near the frequency stored in a Memory Channel. 1 Press [MR], then turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to recall the desired Memory Channel. · Alternatively, press [CALL] to select the Call Channel.
