HYPER MEMORYYaesu FT-8900R Operating Manual Expanded Edition (courtesy of W5JCK) Page 38 of 77Hyper MemoryOverviewThe FT−8900R uses two different types of memory systems, Regular Memory (see page 32)and Hyper Memory, that store different kinds of information. The distinction between thesetwo memory systems is one of the most difficult concepts for users to comprehend.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−8900R contains 799 Regular Memory channels.(See the table below for the 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−8900R. That is, a Hyper Memory records, or is a snapshot of, the wayyou have set up your FT−8900R to operate and meet your communication needs. For mostradios, you can only have one configuration setup. However, the FT−8900R has six HyperMemory channels thus allowing you to set up six unique configurations.
