From VFO mode to enter memory read “M.RD” mode.
The main dial may be rotated or the × Ø keys pushed to review, hunt for and select memory channels
one by one, channels with no data stored will be skipped. the Õ Ö keys to move between
memory banks one by one.
Important note: It is suggested that each memory bank be
programmed with at least one memory channel otherwise the
AR8600 may appear slow or sluggish when recalling banks
as the CPU has to check all memory channels for valid data, this is
particularly noticeable if jumping between bank “A” and “j”
(opposite ends of the AR8600 memory map).
Memory read using the main dial and Õ Ö × Ø keys is useful for reviewing
memory contents and hunting for a specific channel if you forget where you
stored it! Should you know the number of the required memory channel, the
keypad method of memory recall will be much faster. The AR8600 will
monitor whichever memory channel is displayed in memory read “M.RD”
mode.
It is also possible to hunt for memory channels using the TEXT SEARCH
facility, please refer to section 12-2 of this manual for further details.
5-5 Deleting memory channels
It is possible to over-write a memory channel with new data, edit the contents of a memory channel or
delete the channel entirely. When in memory read mode, use the key sequence
to access the “MEM DELETE” menu. The LCD menu invites you to “PUSH ENTER”
to delete the current memory channel, to delete it or to abort.
When deleted, the AR8600 increments to the next memory channel which contains data. It is also
possible to delete whole memory banks in one go using the DELETE menu. Please refer to the
section 10-3 of this manual relating to memory bank DELETE options.
