[. . . ] Press the [D/MR(MW)] key, if needed, to enter the Memory mode. Press the Microphone's [ ] key to activate the "Memory Bank" mode. The Memory Bank number will appear on the display. Press the [#] key to increment the Memory Bank ("b1" through "b8"). Rotate the DIAL knob to select the memories within the selected Bank; you will observe that you can only select memory channels in the current memory bank. The small memory bank number will appear, to the right of the frequency display, two seconds after you complete memory channel selection while operating within a Memory Bank. To change to another Memory Bank, press the [#] key to step up to the next-highest bank. To exit from Memory Bank operation, just press the Microphone's [ ] key. The Memory Channel number will appear steadily on the right side of the display, indicating that you are now in the "standard" Memory Recall mode, without utilization of the Memory Banks. The memories stored in the various Banks will remain in those banks, however; you do not need to store them again. 38 FT-102OPERATING MANUAL MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY BANK OPERATION Removing Memories from a Memory Bank 1. While operating in the Memory Bank mode, recall the memory channel to be removed from a Memory Bank. From the Home channel, you may tune off (as in the Memory Tune mode) without doing anything more than rotating the main DIAL knob. This automatically shifts control to the VFO, making it a good idea to program in your area's "Calling Frequency" as the Home channel. Once contact is established, you may then tune off the Calling Frequency to an open simplex frequency to carry on your QSO. 40 FT-102OPERATING MANUAL MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY-ONLY MODE Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a "Memory Only" mode, whereby VFO and Home Channel operation are impossible. This may be particularly useful during public-service events where a number of operators may be using the radio for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired. To place the radio into the Memory Only mode, turn it off. Now press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key while turning the radio on. The VFO and Home Channel will now be disabled. To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure. FT-102OPERATING MANUAL 41 SCANNING The FT-102's scanning capability provides the operator with many convenient methods of rapid frequency navigation. BASIC SCANNER OPERATION Before activating the scanner, make sure that the Squelch is set to silence the background noise when no signal is present. Scanning is not possible while the Squelch is open (if noise or signals are being heard). Scanning may be started or stopped using the microphone's [UP] or [DWN] button. The following techniques are used for scanning: Pressing and holding in either the [UP] or [DWN] button for one second in the VFO mode will cause upward or downward band scanning, respectively, to begin. [. . . ] ONLY: The scanner will only scan channels that are flagged (Preferential Scan List). OFF: All memory channels will be scanned (the "flag" will be ignored). 48 SPLIT Function: Enables/Disables split CTCSS/DCS coding. Available Values: ON / OFF Default: OFF When this Set Mode Item is set to "ON, " you will see the following additional parameters after the "RV TN" parameter while configuring Set Mode Item "49 SQL. TYP. " D CODE: DCS Encode only. [. . . ]
