Memory channel
A "storage" location where you record an operating
frequency and many other associated parameters for
quick recall later. Normally, all commonly used
frequencies including those of local repeaters would be
saved in memory channels to eliminate manually
selecting frequently-used frequencies.
Memory Recall
A function that fetches a previously saved operating
frequency and associated data. See "Memory channel".
Memory Scan
A function that monitors sequentially all programmed
memory channels that are not locked-out. See "Scan".
Memory Storage
A function that saves an operating frequency and
associated data into a memory channel. See "Memory
channel".
Memory VFO Transfer
A function that records the current memory channel data
into the VFO plus selects VFO mode. This transfer
action does not affect the data stored in the memory
channel.
Menu Set-up
This is a newer term introduced with the creation of a
Menu system for configuring transceiver features. Menu
Set-up allows functions to be turned ON or OFF, or
values to be set, through software rather than physical
keys or controls. Once you learn how to access the
Menu, the standardized method of configuring features
simplifies operation.
MHz Step
See " 1 MHz Step".
Microphone PF (Programmable Function) keys
Keys located on some microphones that can have
transceiver functions assigned to them. Key
assignments can be changed as necessary.
Monitor
A function that overrides any squelch systems being
used so activity on a frequency can be heard. This is
handy to quickly listen to a frequency without actually
changing the squelch setting or disabling the squelch
system.
NiCd
Abbreviation for nickel-cadmium. This refers to the
material used to make rechargeable battery packs used
in modern transceivers.
