Memory TuningOnce you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off that channel,as though you were in the VFO mode.1. With the FT-2980R in the Memory Recall mode, selectthe desired memory channel.2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily. The “MR” in-dicator will blink and the Memory Channel Number willdisappear; these indicates that the “Memory Tuning”mode has been engaged.3. Rotate the DIAL knob, or press the [UP] or [DWN] keys,to tune to a new frequency. The synthesizer steps youhave selected for “VFO” operation will be the steps usedduring Memory Tuning.4. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency,press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily. The “MR” indi-cator will stop blinking and the Memory Channel Num-ber will reappear.5. If you wish to store into memory a new frequency setduring Memory Tuning, just press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second,then complete the normal memory storage procedure. Be sure to select an openmemory channel when doing so.Masking MemoriesThere may be situations where you want to “Mask” memories so they are not visibleduring memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a cityyou visit infrequently may be stored, then “Masked” until you visit that city, at which timeyou can “Unmask” them for normal use. (except for Memory Channel “0”, the PriorityChannel, and the Home Channel).1. With the FT-2980R in the Memory Recall mode, press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)]key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the memory channel you wishto delete.2. Press the [LOW(A/N)] key momentarily. The display will revert to memory channel “0”.The previously-selected memory will be “masked”.3. To Unmask a hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory’s num-ber, then press the [LOW(A/N)] key to restore the memory channel’s data.You can manually store data over a “Masked” memory, deleting previousdata, if you’re not careful. Use the “next available memory” technique (lookfor the blinking memory channel number) storage technique to avoid over-writinga masked memory.34Memory OperationFT-2980R Operating Manual
