VR-500 OPERATING MANUAL24A LPHA-N UMERIC M EMORY RECALLYou can use the VR-500's powerful microprocessor system to search for Memory Chan-nels according to their alpha-numeric label. In the example below, we shall set up the VR-500 to find all channels programmed with “POLICE” as an alpha-numeric label (e.g. PO-LICE 1, POLICE 2, etc.).Å Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [CLR(P.SET)] key.Ç Press the [ENT(SET/NAME)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to activate the“Set” (Menu) mode.É Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #15 [Find Name].Ñ Rotate the DIAL knob one click while pressing the [FUNC] key to enable setup ofAlpha-Numeric Memory Recall.Ö Program the alpha-numeric “label” which you wish to recallusing the DIAL knob and keypad, as described previously.In this case, program “POLICE” as the label. Now press the[ENT(SET/NAME)] key (do not press the [FUNC] key inthis step).Ü Now press the [CLR(P.SET)] key to exit to normal operation.á Press the [1(MEMO)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key to return to the Memorymode.à Rotate the DIAL knob. You will observe that only channels beginning with “POLICE”are now appearing on the display.â To return to normal Memory Recall operation, re-enter the “Set” (Menu) mode, selectMenu #15, then clear the alpha-numeric “Tag.” The easiest way to do this is to enter[ • (STEP)] (from the “ABC” selection option) for each digit in the alpha-numericlabel within Menu #15.Important Note: You can recall Memory Channels alpha-numerically using just one ortwo letters of a label within Menu #15. In the above example, if youprogrammed “PO” in Menu #15 instead of “POLICE,” you could thenrecall channels such as “PONTIAC,” “PORTER,” “PORTLAND,” and“POWER” in addition to “POLICE.” But it you set “POR” in Menu#15, only “PORTER” and “PORTLAND” would be recalled.Memory Mode
