77FT-857 Operating ManualMasking (“Hiding”) a MemoryFrequency data stored on a memory channel can be deleted, if desired, from any memorychannel except channel “1.” The deletion process is not a “hard” erasure, so if you erase achannel by mistake using this procedure, the memory channel contents can be recovered.1. Press the [FUNC] key momentarily, then rotate the SELECT knob, as needed, untilMulti Function Row “b” [MW, SKIP, TAG] appears on the display.2. Press the [A](MW) key momentarily, then rotate the SELECT knob to select the memorychannel to be deleted.3. Press the [B](MCLR) key momentarily. The frequency display field on the LCD will goblank, and the memory channel number will blink.4. Wait about five seconds; when the memory channel number stops blinking, the data willnow be “masked” and will not be available for operation.5. To restore the masked frequency data, repeat the above steps. However, if you store newfrequency information on a channel containing masked data, the masked data will beover-written and lost.6. Memory Channel 1 is used for Priority operation, and frequency information may onlybe over-written (not masked) on this channel.MEMORY OPERATIONMEMORY OPERATION ON “REGULAR” MEMORY CHANNELS
