The transceiver usually stores, into memory, the operating frequency and some aspects of
operating status (such as VFO scan, CTCSS/DCS data, repeater shift, power level etc.).
However, the “Hyper Memory” Mode allows you to store the total current conguration
of the radio into a special “Hyper” memory bank.
Hyper Memory Storage
1. Set up the transceiver according to the desired
conguration.
2. Press and hold in, for two seconds, the Hyper
Memory key ([
1
] through [
5
]), corresponding to
the Hyper Memory channel into which you wish to
store this conguration.
Hyper Memory Recall
Press the appropriate Hyper Memory key ([
1
] through
[
5
]) to recall the desired Hyper Memory channel.
On Hyper Memory Channels “2” through
“5”, the current (original) conguration will
lost when you recall any other Hyper Memory Chan-
nel.To prevent this from happening, press and hold
in the (current) Hyper Memory key to store the current conguration into that Hyper
Memory Channel before recalling anothe Hyper Memory Channel, or set Menu #17
