Page 75FT-991 O PERA T ING M ANUALconvenient MeMory FunctionSThe FT-991 contains ninety-nine regular memories, labeled “01” through “99”, nine special programmed limit mem-ory pairs, labeled “P-1L/P-1U” through “P-9L/P-9U”, and five QMB (Quick Memory Bank) memories, labeled “C-1”through “C-5”. Each stores various settings, in addition to the VFO-A frequency and mode (See below). By default, the99 regular memories are contained in one group; however, they can be arranged in up to six separate groups, if desired.quick point:The FT-991 memory channels store the followingdata (not just the operating frequency): VFO-A Frequency VFO-A Mode Clarifier status and its Offset Frequency ANT status IPO status Roofing filter status and its Bandwidth Attenuator status Noise Blanker status IF SHIFT and WIDTH status CONTOUR status and its Peak Frequency DSP Noise Reduction (DNR) status and itsReduction algorithm selection. DSP Notch filter (NOTCH) status NAR bandwidth status DSP Auto Notch filter (DNF) status Repeater Shift DirectionM eMorY operaTionqMb MeMory chAnnelregulAr MeMory chAnnelS pMS MeMory chAnnelSC-1 C-2 C-3 C-4 C-50197 P-7L/7UP-6L/6UP-5L/5UP-4L/4U0298 P-8L/8U0399 P-9L/9UP-1L/1UP-2L/2UP-3L/3UqMb (quick MeMory bAnk)The Quick Memory Bank consists of five memories (labeled “Q-1” through “Q-5”) independent from the regular andPMS memories. These can quickly store operating parameters for later recall.RCL/STO ButtonQMB Channel Storage1. Tune to the desired frequency on the VFO-A.2. Press the RCL/STO button. The “beep” will confirmthat the VFO-A contents have been written to thecurrently available QMB memory.If you repeatedly press the RCL/STO button, the QMBmemories will be written in the following order:Q-2  Q-3  Q-4  Q-5  Q-1.Once all five QMB memories have data on them, previ-ous data (starting with channel Q-1) will be over-writtenon a first-in, first-out basis.QMB Channel Recall1. Press the RCL/STO button. The current QMB chan-nel data will be shown on the frequency display area.The “QMB” icon will also appear and the MemoryMode indicators in the LED indicators area will il-luminate.2. Repeatedly pressing the RCL/STO button will tog-gle you through the QMB channels:Q-2  Q-3  Q-4  Q-5  Q-1.3. Press the V/M button to return to the VFO or Memo-ry mode.A dvice :Rotating the Main Tuning Dial knob, or changing theoperating mode, will place the transceiver in the “Mem-ory Tune” mode, which is a temporary “pseudo-VFO”method of tuning off of a stored memory channel. If youdo not over-write the contents of the current memorychannel, the original contents will not be disturbed bythe initiation of Memory Tune operation.
