NAMING A MEMORY CHANNEL
You can name Memory Channels using up to 6
alphanumeric characters. When you recall a named
Memory Channel, its name appears on the display in
place of the stored frequency. Names can be call signs,
repeater names, cities, names of people, etc. In order
to use the Memory Name function, the Memory Channel
capacity must be set to 100 channels. To change the
Memory Channel capacity from 200 to 100, access
Menu No. 15 (M.CH) {page 28}.
1 Press [MR] and turn the Tuning control to recall your
desired Memory Channel.
2 Press [F], [MENU] and turn the Tuning control to
select Menu No. 16 (M.NAME).
3 Press [MENU].
• A blinking cursor appears.
4 Turn the Tuning control to select a desired
alphanumeric character.
• You can enter the following alphanumeric characters:
0 ~ 9, A ~ Z, – (hyphen), / (slash), and a space.
• Rather than using the Tuning control, you can use the
Mic keypad (keypad models only) to enter alphanumeric
characters {page 64}.
5 Press [MR].
• The cursor moves to the next digit.
• To move to the previous digit, press [VFO]. To delete the
character at the current cursor position, press [F].
6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 to enter up to 6 digits.
7 Press [MENU] to complete the entry.
• Press any key other than [MR], [VFO], [F], and [MENU]
to cancel the entry.
• To complete an entry of less than 6 characters, press
[MENU] two times.
8 Press any key other than [MENU] to exit Menu Mode.
After storing a Memory Name, the Memory Name
appears in place of the operating frequency. However,
you can still display the operating frequency, if desired.
To display the frequency rather than Memory Name,
access Menu No. 17 (MDF) and select “FRQ”. This
menu toggles the display mode between the Memory
Name (“MN”) and frequency display (“FRQ”).
Note:
◆ You cannot name the Call Channel {page 35}.
◆ You cannot assign a Memory Name to a channel that does not
contain data.
◆ You can overwrite stored names by repeating steps 1 to 8.
◆ The stored name is erased when you clear the Memory Channel
data.
