ROGRAMMING
Memory programming allows storing your favorite
or often-used frequencies into memory channels for
long-term storage and quick recall. The MARK-V FT-
1000MP
Field memories are retained after power-off
by a long-life lithium backup battery that should not
need to replaced for more than 5 years. Should you
expect to not use your transceiver for extended peri-
ods, you can switch off the backup battery via the rear
panel switch to conserve lithium backup battery life (see
page 114).

EMORY
You can store the frequency and all operational
settings for the displayed (Main) VFO into a memory
channel by following this simple procedure:
r Set up all operating parameters and frequency as
desired on the Main VFO.
r When the VRF feature is engaged, press the VRF/
MEM CH knob momentarily to change the VRF/
MEM CH knob’s operation to that of memory chan-
nel selection.
r Rotate the VRF/MEM CH knob to select the memory
channel to fill (“MCK” will start blinking).
r When you have chosen a channel into which to store
the frequency data, press and hold in [A u M] for ½
second so that two beeps sound. The VFO con-
tents are now stored in the selected memory chan-
nel; at this point, you remain in the VFO mode, so
you can continue tuning around and/or storing ad-
ditional memories.
Auto Channel-Up
Normally, you must manually increment the chan-
nel number when programming consecutive
memories. If you would like to save time and have
the channel number automatically increment after
writing each memory, this can be enabled in menu
selection 0-8.
Basic Memory Storage Procedure
Notice
Regarding the VRF/MEM CH Knob
When the VRF feature is engaged, the VRF/MEM
CH knob tunes the passband of the narrow input
“Preselector” filter. During Memory operation, to
enable memory channel selection, press the VRF/
MEM CH knob momentarily; rotation of the knob
will now allow you to select other memories. And if
you want to enter the “Memory Tune” mode and
step around in channelized steps (per the setting
of menu selection 1-5), press and hold in the VRF/
MEM CH knob for ½ second.
