Page 102 FT-2000D OPERATING MANUALMEMORY O PERATIONSTANDARD MEMORY OPERATIONMoving Memory Data to the Main Band (VFO-A)You may transfer the contents of the currently-selected memory channel into the Main band (VFO-A) register, if you like.1. Press the [V/M] button, as necessary, to go to theMemory mode. The memory channel number will ap-pear in the multi-panel window.2. Press the [M CH] button. The Red LED inside theswitch will light up, indicating that you are ready torecall a memory channel.ADVICE:If the Red LED imbedded in the [M CH] button doesnot light up, check to be sure that the orange lamp tothe right of the [SUB VFO-B] knob is not illuminated.If it is, press the [A/B] switch to make it go out, thenpress the [M CH] button again.3. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select the memorychannel the contents of which you wish to transfer tothe Main band (VFO-A).4. Press and hold in the [AM] button for two seconds,until you hear the double beep. The data in the selectedmemory channel will now be transferred to the Mainband (VFO-A).ADVICE:This transfer of data to the Main band (VFO-A) does notaffect the original contents of the memory channel; this isa “copy” function that leaves the memory contents un-changed.1. Press the [V/M] button to recall any memory channel.2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob; you will now ob-serve that the memory channel’s frequency is chang-ing.ADVICE: The “ ” icon will replace the “ ” icon in themulti-panel window, indicating you are in the“Memory Tune” mode. During Memory Tune operation, you may changeoperating modes, and engage the Clarifier, if de-sired.3. Press the [V/M] button momentarily to return to theoriginally-memorized frequency of the current memorychannel. One more press of the [V/M] button will re-turn you to VFO operation.[SUB VFO-B] Knob[V/M] Button[M CH] Button[AM] ButtonNOTE:Computer software programs utilizing the CAT systeminterface port may presume that the transceiver is operat-ing in the VFO mode for certain features like “band map-ping” and/or frequency logging. Because the “MemoryTune” mode so closely resembles the VFO mode, be surethat you have the FT-2000D operating in a control modecompatible with your software’s requirements. Use theVFO mode if you’re not sure.Main Tuning Dial Knob[V/M] ButtonMemory Tune OperationYou may freely tune off of any memory channel in a “Memory Tune” mode that is similar to VFO operation. So long asyou do not over-write the contents of the current memory, Memory Tune operation will not alter the contents of thememory channel.
