Memory Mode
The
FT-257
provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include:
200 “Standard” memory channels, numbered “
1
” through “
200
.”
A “Home” channel, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency.
10 sets of band-edge memories, also known as “Programmable Memory Scan” chan-
nels, labeled “
L1
/
U1
” through “
L10
/
U10
.”
10 Memory Banks, labeled “
BANK 1
” through “
BANK10
.” Each Memory Bank
can be assigned up to 200 channels from the “standard” memory channels.
10 “Weather Broadcast” Channels.
Memory Storage
1. Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode. Be sure to set up
any desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset, before sav-
ing to memory. The power level is stored in the memory and may also be set at this
time, if you wish to change it.
2. Press and hold in the
[
F/MW
]
key for one second.
3. Within ten seconds of releasing the
[
F/MW
]
key, you need to make a decision regard-
ing channel storage. The microprocessor will automatically select the next-available
“free” channel (a memory register on which no data has been stored), so you may
not wish to make any change; if this is the case, proceed to step 4. If you wish to se-
lect a different channel number into which to store the data, rotate the
DIAL
knob or
press the
[
p
]
/
[
q
]
key to select the desired memory channel.
4. Press the
[
F/MW
]
key once more to store the frequency into memory.
5. You will still be operating in the “VFO” mode, so you may now enter other frequen-
cies, and store them into additional memory locations, by repeating the above pro-
cess.
Storing Independent Transmit Frequencies (“Odd Splits”)
All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters
with non-standard shift. To do this:
1. Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY
STORAGE (it doesn’t matter if a repeater offset is active).
2. Tune to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold in the
[
F/MW
]
key for
one second.
3. Within ten seconds of releasing the
[
F/MW
]
key, rotate the
DIAL
knob or press the
[
p
]
/
[
q
]
key to select the same memory channel number as used in step “1” above.
4. Press and hold in the
PTT
switch. Then while holding the
PTT
switch in, momen-
tarily press the
[
F/MW
]
key once more. (This does not key the transmitter).
Whenever you recall a memory which contains independently-stored transmit and re-
ceive frequencies, the “
” indication will appear in the display.
