the to toggle bank select on/off and to accept the changes and

exit the menu. Please refer to section 7-8-6 of this manual for details on MEMORY BANK write

PROTECT.

Note: Memory channel write protect prevents accidental over-writing and deletion of specific

memory channels but does not prevent loss of data due to memory resizing or when using the

optional external memory slot card.

5-4 Memory read “M.RD”

Once frequency and mode data has been stored into a memory location, its retrieval is quick and simple.

Let’s assume that you wish to retrieve the frequency of 123.500 MHz which has been programmed into

to memory “E25” during an earlier example in the preceding section 5-2 of this manual.

to place the receiver into memory read mode, the legend “M.RD” appears toward

the top left of the LCD to confirm operation. The AR8600 will monitor whatever memory channel first

appears when you enter memory read.

The AR8600 will display memory channel, mode, frequency, tuning step, text comment (if one was

used), attenuator status, noise limiter status and AFC status. The memory channel last used (for

memory write or recall) will initially be displayed, If the desired memory channel is not immediately

displayed it may be recalled by keying in the required three digit location.

To recall memory channel “E25”

(there is no need to push enter).

The “BANK/CH SEL” legend automatically appears

when the first key is pushed to remind you that you

are recalling memory channels in memory read

mode. Keypad memory recall requires a three digit

location, one letter for the bank and two numbers for

the channel. If you hesitate for more that 2 seconds

while recalling memory channels via the keypad the

sequence will time out, for more leisurely memory

recall use the Õ Ö × Ø keys.

To recall memory “b06” the CASE SHIFT key needs to be used to access the lower case bank,

(there is no need to push

enter). If you attempt to recall a memory which has no valid data (because it is blank) the next valid

memory channel will be displayed instead. Blank memory channels are ignored.
