4-3. MEMORYThe R-5000 incorporates a convenient 100 channel me-mory that can be used to store and recall commonly usedfrequencies. These channels can be subdivided into 10user-defined groups to tailor the R-5000 for optimumoperation in a particular application. You can, for instance,assign channels 10 through 19 to the 160 meter band,channels 20 through 29 to the 80 meter band, channels30 through 39 to the 40 meter band (LSB), channels 40through 49 to the 20 meter band (USB), channels 50through 59 to the 15 meter band, channels 60 to 69 tothe 10 meter band (FM), channels 70 through 79 to the 12meter band, and channels 80 through 89 to various shor-twave bands. After completing channel assignments, youcan then use the memory scan function to automaticallyrecall the stored frequencies on a group basis.HF or VHF frequencies can be stored in any memory loca-tion.4-3-1. Memory entry1. With the R-5000 in the VFO mode, select the desiredoperating frequency, mode and antenna number as de-scribed in previous sections.2. Press the M.IN key. The radio will enter the MemoryScroll (M.SCR) mode. The current memory channelnumber (M.CH), frequency, mode and antenna will bedisplayed, but the actual operating frequency and modewill remain unchanged allowing uninterrupted recep-tion.3. Select the desired memory channel using one of thethree methods described below.(1) Turn the TUNING knob until the desired channelnumber is displayed (One revolution of the knobcover about 20 channels.)(2) Enter a two digit channel number using the Numer-ic Keypad, being sure to include the leading zero forchannels 00 through 09. Pressing the CLEAR keybefore pressing the second digit will return you tothe original channel.(3) Use the UP/DOWN keys to scroll thru the differentmemory positions.4. When the desired memory channel is found and dis-played, press the M.IN key again. The current fre-quency, mode and antenna number will be stored, theMemory Scroll mode will be cancelled, and the R-5000will return to the operating mode and frequency thatwas displayed before the M.IN key was pressed initially.Note:If you decide not to enter the information into memorypress the CLEAR key to return to the original frequency,mode and antenna.4-3-2. Memory Channel RecallFixed channel type recall is possible when using theVFO/M key to recall memory channel information. Thestored frequency cannot be changed.The following procedure shows how to recall a channel.1. During VFO operation, press the VFO/M key to initiateMemory Channel operation. This causes the MemoryChannel to return to the status (antenna number, mode,and frequency) prior to the Memory Channel operation.The VFO selected (A or B) before changing to the Me-mory Channel operation will be displayed.Example:When 14.175 MHz is stored in Memory Channel 23.2. Select a Memory Channel by using the TUNING knob,Keypad, or MHz (UP/DOWN) switch.Example:When Memory Channel 68 (28.800 MHz) is selected.3. If you press the VFO/M key again, the original VFOoperating information will be restored.Note:The only way to tune is to transfer the data to the VFO.4-3-3. Clearing a Memory ChannelData may be erased by depressing the ENT key while de-pressing the CLEAR key.A Memory Channel may be cleared by the following proce-dure.1. Enter the Memory Channel mode by pressing theVFO/M key.2. Select the channel number that you want to clear usingany of the methods previously described.3. Press and hold the CLEAR key.4. Press the ENT key. Then release both keys. The radiowill beep. The display will blank and no sound willcome from the speaker.You may now return to the VFO mode by pressing theVFO/M key.4-3-4. Memory Channel ScrollThe following procedure provides a method to check aMemory Channel Frequency without changing or loosingthe current receive frequency.21
