Hyper Memory Overview
The FT−8800R uses two different types of memory systems, Regular Memory (see page 35)
and Hyper Memory, that store different kinds of information. One of the most difficult
concepts for users to comprehend has been the distinction between these two memory
systems.
The Regular Memory is a memory system that stores information specific to a memory
channel. For example, the information needed to operate on a particular repeater will be
stored in a Regular Memory channel. The FT−8800R contains 512 Regular Memory channels
per side (left and right) for a total of 1024 Regular Memory channels. (See the table below for
the types of data that are stored in a Regular Memory channel.)
The Hyper Memory is a memory system that stores information specific to the overall
configuration of your FT−8800R. That is, a Hyper Memory records, or is a snapshot of, the way
you have set up your FT−8800R to operate and meet your communication needs. For most
radios, you can only have one configuration setup. However, the FT−8800R has six Hyper
Memory channels thus allowing you to set up six unique configurations. (See the table below
for the types of data that are stored in a Hyper Memory channel.)
REGULAR MEMORY Storage
memory channel information
HYPER MEMORY Storage
radio configuration information
Each Regular Memory channel contains the information for
one frequency on which you want to operate .
• Memory channel number (left/right)
• Receive/Transmit frequencies
• Operating mode (AM, FM, NFM)
• Repeater information (shift, offset, encoding
method, CTCSS tone, DCS code)
• Whether to display frequency or name tag
• Transmitting power
• Scan/Skip preference
• Bank assignments
• Hyper Memory assignments
Each Hyper Memory channel contains a set of information on
how you operate your FT−8800R.
• Which Memory channels to include
• ARS (activation/deactivation)
• Band edge criteria
• Sub band display format
• Packet information (Baud rate, operating band)
• Memory scan mode (MEM, MSM)
• Band Linking (Off, On)
• Automatically tune AM for Aircraft band (Off, On)
• Default Operating mode for each side (VFO,
Memory, Home)
• Active band (left/right)
• Which Banks to scan (left/right)
• Which Memory channel to default to (left/right)
• Which Menu item to default to (left/right)
• Which is the Active side: Main band (left or right)
