MEMORY OPERATION
The VXA-150 provides 50 user-programmable
“Main” memories, labeled “CH

ignated “Book” Memories. The “ ” icon appears

Memory System Operation
The VXA-150’s Main Memory system allows the

which you may want to use frequently. You may store
VFO frequencies, Book Memory frequencies, and/
or Weather Channel frequencies (USA version only)
into the Main Memory system.
