Push Rotate for setting frequency, etc. and continue to push " "Beep " Beep " Beep " "Beep 26 5 MEMORY OPERATION D Programming a memory channel via the microphone The microphone can also be used to program memMW ory channels. z Set the desired frequency in VFO mode. offset frequency, duplex direction, subaudible tone encoder ON/OFF and its frequency), if necessary. · Direct numeral input cannot be used. v Push [FUNC] then [CLR A(MW)] for 1 sec. 3 beeps may sound and the VFO contents (including the subaudible tone frequency, etc. ) are programmed. Memory channel number increases when continuing to push [CLR A(MW)] after programming. [EXAMPLE]: Programming 145. 870 MHz into memory channel 20 (blank channel) via the microphone. Push Push then "Beep Push 10 times Push then for 1 sec. and continue to push " "Beep " Beep " Beep " 27 "Beep MEMORY OPERATION 5 I Copying memory contents This function copies a memory channel's contents to VFO (or another memory/call channel). This is useful when searching for signals around a memory channel frequency and for recalling the offset frequency, subaudible tone frequency etc. D Memory/callVFO q Select the desired memory or call channel. Push [M/CALL·PRIO] several times to select memory mode or call channel, then rotate [DIAL] or push [BAND] to select the desired memory or call channel respectively. to transfer the selected memory/call channel contents to the VFO. · VFO mode is selected automatically. MR/CALL MW [Y]/[Z] BAND z Select the memory/call channel to be transferred. Push [MR/CALL] to select memory mode, then select the desired memory channel via [Y]/[Z] or keypad. to transfer the selected memory/call channel contents to the VFO. · VFO mode is selected automatically. 5 [EXAMPLE]: Transferring memory channel 30 contents to VFO. Front panel operation: Push to select memory mode. Rotate for selecting memory channel. Push for 1 sec. HM-133 operation: Push to select memory mode. Push [Y]/[Z] to select memory channel.
