HYPER MEMORYYaesu FT-8800R Operating Manual (courtesy of W5JCK) Page 43 of 83Hyper Memory OverviewThe FT−8800R uses two different types of memory systems, Regular Memory (see page 35)and Hyper Memory, that store different kinds of information. One of the most difficultconcepts for users to comprehend has been the distinction between these two memorysystems.The Regular Memory is a memory system that stores information specific to a memorychannel. For example, the information needed to operate on a particular repeater will bestored in a Regular Memory channel. The FT−8800R contains 512 Regular Memory channelsper side (left and right) for a total of 1024 Regular Memory channels. (See the table below forthe types of data that are stored in a Regular Memory channel.)The Hyper Memory is a memory system that stores information specific to the overallconfiguration of your FT−8800R. That is, a Hyper Memory records, or is a snapshot of, the wayyou have set up your FT−8800R to operate and meet your communication needs. For mostradios, you can only have one configuration setup. However, the FT−8800R has six HyperMemory channels thus allowing you to set up six unique configurations. (See the table belowfor the types of data that are stored in a Hyper Memory channel.)REGULAR MEMORY Storagememory channel informationHYPER MEMORY Storageradio configuration informationEach Regular Memory channel contains the information forone frequency on which you want to operate .• Memory channel number (left/right)• Receive/Transmit frequencies• Operating mode (AM, FM, NFM)• Repeater information (shift, offset, encodingmethod, CTCSS tone, DCS code)• Whether to display frequency or name tag• Transmitting power• Scan/Skip preference• Bank assignments• Hyper Memory assignmentsEach Hyper Memory channel contains a set of information onhow you operate your FT−8800R.• Which Memory channels to include• ARS (activation/deactivation)• Band edge criteria• Sub band display format• Packet information (Baud rate, operating band)• Memory scan mode (MEM, MSM)• Band Linking (Off, On)• Automatically tune AM for Aircraft band (Off, On)• Default Operating mode for each side (VFO,Memory, Home)• Active band (left/right)• Which Banks to scan (left/right)• Which Memory channel to default to (left/right)• Which Menu item to default to (left/right)• Which is the Active side: Main band (left or right)
