PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY (PM)
Programmable Memory (PM) stores virtually all settings currently set on the transceiver. This transceiver provides 5 PM channels to store 5 sets of transceiver configurations. Later you can quickly recall one of these, depending on the operations in your mind or the operating environment. The following settings are shared by both band A and B: TX band Transmit output power Display Dimmer

APPLICATION EXAMPLES
The following are examples of how you might use Programmable Memory. These examples may not represent applications useful to you, but you will understand the flexibility of this function. Situation 1 Situation 1 Solution Solution
You share your transceiver with other members in your family or club. However, each individual has personal preferences for how they like to set various functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the transceiver.
Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5 persons can separately program the transceiver and store their customized environment. Then each person can quickly change to his or her favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change back the settings after somebody else has reconfigured them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features.
Solution Solution In two PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, tone, etc. , and store different settings for the Display Dimmer and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day or night operating.

Situation 2 Situation 2 While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrupt the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is a waste of electricity in sunlight. At night when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly serves a purpose and you feel it is nice to see a bright display after dark. Situation 3 Situation 3 You cannot figure out how you can make the transceiver exit the current mode.
Solution Solution
Simply recall PM channel 1 that contains an exact copy of the transceiver default environment.
