MEMORY OPERATION
The VXA-700 provides 102 user-programmable Main
memories, labeled “MR1” through “MR100”, “MRLch,”
and “MRUch,” and up to 90 pre-programmed memories,
designated “Book” Memories, labeled “BMR1” through
“BMR90.”
The Main memories and “Book” Memories can be assigned
alpha-numeric names of up to eight characters.
Memory System Operation
The VXA-700’s Main Memory system allows the user to
store, label, and recall channel frequencies which you may
want to use frequently. You may store VFO frequencies,
“Book” Memory frequencies, and/or Weather Channel fre-
quencies (USA version only) into the Main Memory sys-
tem.
Memory Storage
r Select the desired frequency in the VFO mode, or re-
call the “Book” Memory channel or Weather channel
to be stored in the Main Memory.
r Press and hold in the key for 2 seconds. The dis-
play will indicate “MR” and a channel number will
blink on the LCD.
r Within five seconds of pressing the key, rotate the
DIAL selector knob to select the desired memory chan-
nel number for storage. In order to prevent writing
over memory channels, an “ ” icon will appear at
the right of the channel number to indicate if the
memory channel is vacant.
r Now press and hold in the key for 2 seconds; you
will now see the blinking “A” character on the LCD.
To attach an alpha/numeric name (label) to the
memory, proceed to the next step; otherwise press and
hold in the key for 2 seconds to save the entry and
exit.
r To label a memory with an alpha/numeric name, the
next step is to use the DIAL selector knob to select
any of the 125 available characters (including letters,
numbers, and special symbols). When the desired first
character appears, press the key momentarily to
select it and move on to the next character.
