Labeling Memories
You may wish to append an alpha-numeric “Tag” (label) to a memory or memories, to aid
in recollection of the channel’s use (such as club name, etc.). This is easily accomplished
using the Set (Menu) mode.
1. Recall the memory channel on which you wish to ap-
pend a label.
2. Press and hold in the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second,
then rotate the
DIAL
knob to select “
30 NM SET
”.
3. Press the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key. You will notice the first char-
acter location blinking, indicating that you are now in the
Alpha-Numeric (“A/N”) entry mode. Within the A/N entry
mode, rotate the
DIAL
knob to select
characters
; press-
ing the [
LOW
(
A/N
)] key will move the character’s
entry
location
to the right.
4. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired number, let-
ter, or symbol, then press the [
LOW
(
A/N
)] key to move
the next character’s location. Press the [
REV
(
DW
)] key
if you want to “backspace” one slot.
To enter a space, press the
[
LOW
(
A/N
)]
key to move
one space to the right, and then rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the Blank (space).
Now press the
[
LOW
(
A/N
)]
key to enter the Blank
(space). Press the
[
LOW
(
A/N
)]
key a second time to
move to the next character location.
5. Repeat step 4, as necessary, to complete the name
tag (up to six characters) for your memory, then press
the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key momentarily to save the A/N name
just entered.
6. Press and hold in the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key for one second to exit to normal operation.
While operating in the Memory Recall mode, press and hold
in the [
LOW
(
A/N
)] key for one second to toggle the display
between indication of the frequency and the channel’s Alpha/
Numeric label.
