37FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL
MEMORY OPERATION
MEMORY TUNING
Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off that channel,
as though you were in the VFO mode.
1. With the FT-1802M in the Memory Recall mode, select
the desired memory channel.
2. Press the
[
MHz
(
SET
)]
key momentarily. The “MR” indi-
cator will blink and the Memory Channel Number will dis-
appear; these indicates that the “Memory Tuning” mode has been engaged.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob, or press the
[
UP
]
or
[
DWN
]
keys, to tune to a new frequency. The
synthesizer steps you have selected for “VFO” operation
will be the steps used during Memory Tuning.
4. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, press the
[
D/MR
(
MW
)]
key
momentarily. The “MR” indicator will stop blinking and
the Memory Channel Number will reappear.
5. If you wish to store into memory a new frequency set during Memory Tuning, just press
and hold in the
[
D/MR
(
MW
)]
key for one second, then complete the normal memory
storage procedure. Be sure to select an open memory channel when doing so.
MASKING MEMORIES
There may be situations where you want to “Mask” memories so they are not visible during
memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city you visit
infrequently may be stored, then “Masked” until you visit that city, at which time you can
“Unmask” them for normal use. (except for Memory Channel “0,” the Priority Channel, and
the Home Channel).
1. With the FT-1802M in the Memory Recall mode, press and hold in the
[
D/MR
(
MW
)]
key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the memory channel you wish to
delete.
2. Press the
[
LOW
(
A/N
)]
key momentarily. The display will revert to memory channel “0.”
The previously-selected memory will be “masked.”
3. To Unmask a hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the
[
D/
MR
(
MW
)]
key for one second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory’s number,
then press the
[
LOW
(
A/N
)]
key to restore the memory channel’s data.
Watch out! You can manually store data over a “Masked” memory, deleting pre-
vious data, if you’re not careful. Use the “next available memory” technique (look
for the blinking memory channel number) storage technique to avoid over-writing a
masked memory.
