Memory Masking You can mask stored memories from selection and display. Stored data remains and can be restored, until you overwrite it or reset the CPU. You can also restore unused memories, in which case you will find they are set to the bottom edge of the band. You can use this feature to easily check which memories you have not yet stored. To hide a memory: m Recall the memory you wish to hide, then press and hold fi `/2-second(until 0 blinks). n Press "FJ$*; the display changes to c I( - I, and the previously memory can no longer be recalled manually, or included for scanning. To restore a memory: cfl Recall any memory, then press and hold FJ for M-second (until 0 blinks). Use the knob to select the memory to be restored, then press "r finish.

Note that blank spaces can also be entered instead of characters, and names do not have to begin at the first (left-most) character location. You can always turn the names back on as they are preserved with the memories. Memory-Only Mode This allows operation only on stored memories, which are displayed by name (if any) at the left, and the memory channel number to the right. [. . . ] Key Function m, w1MM RE1: By default, pressing the middle switch on the left side of USA version transceivers disables the receiver squelch to monitor weak stations. In European transceiver versions, this transmits a 1750 Hz tone for repeater access instead. These functions assignments can be reversed, if desired: ct) Hold the knob down for M second, release it and turn to display 1; E 3 - Z I - . 0 Press the knob momentarily, then turn the knob to select either !lOrJ (for monitor) or T c flL (for tone call).
