Weather Frequencies (where available)

Auto Stack List (LST)

The SL40 keeps track of the last eight Active frequencies and stores them in a stack. Duplicate fre-

quencies are not stored. 

1. Press 

RCL

 and then turn the 

Large

, outer knob to display the Auto Stack List (LST). 

2. Then, turn the 

Small

, inner knob to view the stored frequencies. Frequencies are shown in the order of 

use. 

User Stored Frequencies (MEM)

When you press the 

MEM

 button the Standby frequency is stored in User memory. The SL40 stores 

the last eight frequencies selected by the user. After eight User frequencies are stored, you will be prompt-
ed that the stack is full (mem full). You may then remove or replace the frequency, or abort the process. 
Duplicate frequencies are not stored. 

1. Press 

RCL

 and then turn the 

Large

, outer knob to reach the User frequencies. 

2. Turn the 

Small

, inner knob to view the User stored frequencies in numeric order. 

Weather (WTH)

The standard weather channels are stored in the memory of the SL40. You cannot transmit on a 

weather channel frequency. Weather information service is not available in all countries. A small “x” to 
the right of the Active frequency indicates that transmitting is not permitted. 

1. Press 

RCL

 and then turn the 

Large

, outer knob to display the weather (WTH) channel memory. 

2. Then, turn the 

Small

, inner knob to view the available weather channels. 

Aborting a Frequency Recall

You may abort the recall of a frequency so the current Standby frequency will remain in place. 

1. Press 

RCL

. While viewing one of the frequency types, press 

MEM

. If you are viewing a REM, LST, or 

WTH frequency type, the display will read “Abort RCL.” If you are viewing a User (MEM) frequency type, 

turn the 

Large

 knob to “Abort RCL.” 

2. Press 

MEM

 again to abort the recall and retain the current  Standby frequency.
