To select a specific memory channel, press the
SCAN
MEM
button and then enter a two digit number of the
desired memory channel to be recalled. Make certain
that the successive button depressions are made within
3 seconds of each other. Other memory channels may
be selected by pressing the
SCAN

button and entering
two digit numbers. If a channel number is selected that
is empty, 'Error' will flash.
The large rotary tuning control may be used to tune
from the frequency that was stored in the selected
memory channel. The `MEM’ symbol turns off, but
the last memory channel number still shows. Pressing
the

MEMORY FUNCTIONS
The SW8 contains 70 memory locations that can be
used to store and recall commonly monitored frequen-
cies. These 70 locations are divided into blocks of 10,
ie. 00-09, 10-19, 20-29, etc. This allows convenient
grouping of frequencies. As an example, 00-09 could
be AM broadcast stations, 10-19 could be FM broad-
cast stations, 20-29 could be various time stations such
as CHU and WWV, etc. With memory locations
programmed, you can use the scan function to auto-
matically monitor desired memory frequencies. The
following operating parameters may be stored in any
memory location:
1) Frequency 2) Mode 3) Bandwidth 4) AGC setting
5) Attenuator 6) Synchronous detector
