frequency etc afresh in VFO mode and write to the
required memory location.
7-5 Deleting memory channels and banks
It is possible to delete memory channels on an individual
basis or delete a whole memory bank in one go. In fact,
the delete key has many operations depending upon what
operating mode (VFO, SCAN or SEARCH) the receiver
was in prior to the selection of delete using the key
sequence
The deletion of memory data presumes that you have
previously programmed memory channels which you now
wish to delete! Once you have deleted memory data it
cannot be restored so follow the key sequence
carefully.
Deleting individual memory channels
First place the AR5000 into memory recall mode. Switch
on the receiver and press the
key once (unless it
is in SCAN mode in which case you should press
followed by
).
Select the memory location which you wish to delete by
rotating the
MAIN DIAL
or by using the
keys.
The
SUB DIAL
may be used to change the memory bank
identifier. The
keys may also be used to
select the memory channel. Alternatively you may enter
the memory location in full via the numeric keypad.
For example, to recall memory channel “
123
123
123
123

” press
while in memory recall mode.
Once a channel has been recalled, to delete data from
memory channel “

flashes to heighten your attention to help prevent accidental
erasure of data
To confirm deletion press
. The AR5000 will
increment to and display the next memory channel
containing data (the display will move upward or downward
depending upon whether the
or
keys had
been previously used or direction of rotation of the
MAIN DIAL
or
SUB DIAL
).
Deleting complete memory banks
It is often convenient to delete a whole memory bank in
one operation. While this may be accomplished by
deleting each and every memory channel individually, a
faster method is available especially if you have previously
stored data into all 100 memory channels of a particular
bank.
Ensure the receiver is in VFO or memory recall mode,
if in doubt press
