Memory OperationThe FT-2980R provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include: 200 “basic” memory channels, numbered “0” through “199”. A “Home” channel, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency. 10 sets of band-edge memories, also known as “Programmable Memory Scan”channels, labeled “L0/U0” through “L9/U9”. 8 Memory Banks, labeled “BANK 1” through “BANK 8”. Each Memory Bank can beassigned up to 200 channels from the “basic” memory channels.Each memory may be appended with an alpha-numeric label of up to six characters, forquick channel recognition.Memory Storage1. In the VFO mode, select the desired frequency, repeater shift, CTCSS/DCS tone,and TX power level.2. Press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second. A memory number will ap-pear in the bottom right-hand corner of the display. If the channel number is blinking,there currently is no data stored on that channel; if the channel number is not blink-ing, that channel is currently “occupied” by other frequency data, and you won’t wantto use that channel unless the data is no longer of interest.3. Within five seconds of pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key, use the DIAL knob to selectthe desired memory into which you wish to store the frequency.4. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key again, this time momentarily, to store the displayed datainto the selected memory channel slot. The memory label will disappear (since youare still operating in the VFO mode).5. To store other frequencies, repeat steps 1 through 4, remembering to set the repeat-er shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, and TX power level, as appropriate.30FT-2980R Operating Manual
