An easy way to recall memories is to key in the memory channel number, then press [MR(SKIP)]. For example, to recall memory channel #16, press [1]-[6]-[MR (SKIP)]. 18 VX-150 OPERATING MANUAL Memory Operation MEMORY OFFSET TUNING Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off that channel, as though you were in the "VFO" mode. With the VX-150 in the "MR" (Memory Recall) mode, select the desired memory channel. The synthesizer steps selected for VFO operation on the current band will be the steps used during Memory Tuning. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, press the [MR(SKIP)] key momentarily. If you wish to store a new frequency in the current or another memory. Just press and hold the [F] key for one second, select the new memory channel (if desired), and press [F] key again momentarily. Any required CTCSS/DCS changes, or repeater offset modifications, must be done before storing the data into the new (or original) memory channel location. HOME CHANNEL MEMORY A special one-touch "HOME" channel is available, allowing quick recall of a favorite operating frequency. Memory storage is simple to accomplish: Change the setting of Menu Item #20 from "REV" to "HOME, " if it is not already set to that option (see page 35). Be sure to set up any desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset. While the memory channel number is blinking, just press the [REV(HM )] key. The frequency and other data (if any) will now be stored in the special HOME channel register. To recall the HOME channel, press the [REV(HM)] key momentarily while operating in the VFO or MR mode. LABELING MEMORIES You may wish to append an alpha-numeric "Tag" (label) to a memory or memories, to aid in recollection of the channel's use (such as a club name, etc. ). Press the [F ] key, then press the [0(SET)] key, to enter the Menu mode. Press the [F] key, then press the [F/W] key again, to begin entry of the Label. When you have made your selection, press the[s] key momentarily to move to the next character.

When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. MASKING MEMORIES There may be situations where you want to "Mask" memories so they are not visible during memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city you visit infrequently may be stored, then "Masked" until you visit that city, at which time you can "Unmask" them for normal use. Press the [MR(SKIP)] key, if needed, to enter the MR mode. Press and hold in the [F] key for 1/2 second, then rotate the DIAL to select the memory Press the [MR(SKIP)] key. the DIAL to the location you just "Masked, " you will observe that it is now invisible. To Unmask the hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the [F] key for 1/2 second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory's number, then press [MR(SKIP)] to restore the memory channel's data. MEMORY ONLY MODE This allows operation only on stored memories, which are displayed by name (if any) at the right, and the memory channel number to the left.
