■Programming memory/bank name Each memory channel can be programmed with an alphanu-
meric channel name for easy recognition and can be indicated
independently by channel. Names can be a maximum of 8
characters.qPush [MR S.MW]to select memory mode.
wRotate [R-DIAL]to select the desired memory channel.
ePush [MR S.MW]for 1 sec. to select the select memory
write condition.
•1 short and 1 long beep sound.
•“µ µ

rWhile pushing [8 SET], rotate [R-DIAL]to select “BNAME”
or “MNAME” when programming the memory name or the
bank name, respectively.
•The item can also be selected by pushing [8 SET]several times.
•After selecting the memory or bank name programming condi-
tion, a cursor blinks for the first digit.
tRotate [R-DIAL]to select the desired character.
•The selected character blinks.
•While pushing [6 M.N], rotate [R-DIAL]to select the character
group.
yWhile pushing [BAND], rotate [R-DIAL]to move the cur-
sor to left or right.
•Push [BAND]to move the cursor to right.
uRepeat steps tand yuntil the desired 8-character chan-
nel names are displayed.
iPush [MR S.MW]for 1 sec. to program the name and exit
the channel name programming condition.
•3 beeps sound.NOTE: Only one bank name can be programmed into
each bank. Therefore, the previously programmed bank
name will be displayed when bank name indication is se-
lected. Also, the programmed bank name is assigned for
the other bank channels automatically.

Copying memory contents
This function transfers a memory channel’s contents to VFO
(or another memory channel). This is useful when searching
for signals around a memory channel frequency and for re-
calling the offset frequency, subaudible tone frequency etc.DMemory➪VFOqSelect the memory channel to be copied.
➥Push [MR S.MW]to select memory mode, then rotate
[R-DIAL]to select the desired memory channel.
•Select the bank channel with [BAND]and [R-DIAL], if desired.
wPush [MR S.MW]for 1 sec. to select the select memory
write condition.

■Scan typesScanning searches for signals automatically and makes it
easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes.There are 7 scan types and 4 resume conditions to suit your
operating needs. The scan speed is at 100 ch/sec. (approx.)
for VFO scan, 20 ch/sec. (approx) for memory scan.FULL SCAN 
(p. 35)Repeatedly scans all frequen-
cies over the entire band. 
Some frequency ranges are
not scanned according to the
frequency coverage of the re-
ceiver’s version.
