MEMORY CHANNELS
Programming
This is the method most often used to program mem-
ory channels.
qSelect the desired memory channel.
wSet 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).
rPush 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 con-
rm) the previously programmed contents.

frequency, mode, etc.

Only 1 channel can be stored in the temporary space.
wSelect the memory channel you wish to program
the frequency into.

•“M disappears.
NOTE: Remember that pushing [MW] is always
necessary to program contents into a memory
channel. Pasted contents will be cleared if the
[MW] key is not pushed for 1 sec.
Clearing

be cleared (erased).

can be removed (along with their programmed con-
tents) from a particular memory bank and placed
