memory, Memory Tune operation will not alter the contents of the memory channel.
1. Press the [V/M] button to recall any memory channel.
Advice: If you can not enter the “Memory mode”, check to be sure that the
[VFO-B(RX)] Indicator/Switch is illuminated green. If it is, press the [VFO-A(RX)]
Indicator/Switch to make the [VFO-B(RX)] Indicator/Switch go out, then press the
[V/M] button again.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob; you will now observe that the memory
channel’s frequency is changing.
The “MT” icon will replace the “MR” icon in the multi-panel window, indicating
you are in the “Memory Tune” mode.
During Memory Tune operation, you may change operating modes, and engage
and offset the Clarifier, if desired.
3. Press the [V/M] button momentarily to return to the originally-memorized
frequency of the current memory channel. One more press of the [V/M] button will
return you to VFO operation.
Note: Computer software programs utilizing the CAT system interface port may
presume that the transceiver is operating in the VFO mode for certain features like
“band mapping” and/or frequency logging. Because the “Memory Tune” mode so closely
resembles the VFO mode, be sure that you have the FT-950 operating in a control mode
compatible with your software’s requirements. Use the VFO mode if you’re not sure.
Memory Groups
Memory channels may be grouped into as many as six convenient batches, for easy
identification and selection. For example, you might want to set aside memory groups
for AM BC stations, shortwave broadcast stations, contest frequencies, repeater
frequencies, and PMS limits, or any other groupings you like.
Each memory group is capable of holding up to 22 memory channels (the Group size is
fixed). When a memory channel is grouped, the channel numbers change to correspond
to the chart below:
