Hyper Memory
Overview
The
FT−8900R
uses two different types of memory systems,
Regular Memory
(see page 32)
and
Hyper Memory
, that store different kinds of information. The distinction between these
two memory systems is one of the most difficult concepts for users to comprehend.
The
Regular Memory
is a memory system that stores information specific to a memory
channel. For example, the information needed to operate on a particular repeater will be
stored in a
Regular Memory
channel. The
FT−8900R
contains 799
Regular Memory
channels.
(See the table below for the types of data that are stored in a
Regular Memory
channel.)
The
Hyper Memory
is a memory system that stores information specific to the overall
configuration of your
FT−8900R
. That is, a
Hyper Memory
records, or is a snapshot of, the way
you have set up your
FT−8900R
to operate and meet your communication needs. For most
radios, you can only have one configuration setup. However, the
FT−8900R
has six
Hyper
Memory
channels thus allowing you to set up six unique configurations. (See the table below
for the types of data that are stored in a
Hyper Memory
channel.)
