6 MEMORY CHANNELS AND BANKS
It is convenient to store commonly used frequencies into a memory channel along with mode etc., as this
saves having to key the data in over and over again. Memory read is very straightforward and quick when
compared to retyping all data.
6-1 MEMORY CHANNEL OVERVIEW
Think of memory channels as pages in a notebook each of which is numbered to identify it. Data may
be written to each new page (memory channel) and each page may be overwritten with new data, so they
can be used over and over again. The AR-DV1 has 2,000 memory channels and one priority channel.
Each memory channel may hold:
One receive frequency
Receive mode
Tuning step
Text comment of up to 12 characters
The alphanumeric comment may be used to ease identification at a later date. The 2,000 memory
channels are divided into 40 banks, and each bank has 50 channels. The memory banks are identified
by the first BANK number 0, 1, 2, 3, , 48, 49 and the individual channels are numbered from 00 to 49.
(Example): “1234” is the location: memory bank “12” and memory channel “34”
The data contents of memory and search banks are held in an EEPROM so that no backup battery is
required for memory retention.
The stored data may be quickly and easily recalled, changed or deleted using the memory recall and
delete functions.
Note: When the receiver is switched OFF, all VFO data will be
automatically stored into EEPROM memory storage.
6-2 STORING VFO FREQUENCIES AND DATA INTO MEMORY
The process to save a displayed VFO frequency to memory is as follows:
1. In VFO mode, select the required frequency, mode, etc.
2. Press and hold the [ENT] key for two seconds. The AR-DV1 will automatically find the next
available vacant memory channel.
3. Using the keypad, select the desired memory location (bank and channel).
4. Add a text comment (optional) or delete an existing comment.
5. Press the [ENT] key to exit the menu and save the data to the specified memory location.
(Example) Storing the frequency of 145.000 MHz into memory bank “3” location “25” (0325)
while in VFO mode.
