Memory Note

As a way to attach a reminder note to the memory slot displayed the following method is available.

  • On the Main form the Memory Note is displayed just below the memory number in the Status Bar (footer) of the form. See the 2nd image above.
  • On the Mini Window the Memory Note is displayed in the Title Bar of the form.

Operation

Notice! - This is volatile (non-persistent) memory. It lasts ONLY for the current DDUtil operating session.

Storing Memory Data

• Tune to frequency to be remembered.
• Press the ReCall button to select the desired memory slot to store the data.
• Press Clear if not empty.
• Press the Save button.
• Button will blink Yellow when operation is complete.

Alert! - If the memory slot selected is not empty memory slots 2-4 will be pushed down one level and the new data will be stored in slot #1.

Recalling Memory Data

• Press the ReCall button to select the desired memory slot.
  • Repeatedly pressing in the ReCall button will page (rotate) through the five (5) memory slots.
• Press the Load button to send the save memory data to PowerSDR.

Alert! - Pressing the Load button will replace current frequency and profile data in PSDR. If you want to preserve the current PSDR VFO position use the V<>M button feature instead (see below).

Clearing Memory Data

• Press the Clear button to clear the selected memory slot.
• Pressing the key combination of Ctrl+Shift+Clear will clear all memory slots.

Exchange VFO & Memory Data

This feature allows you to move the radio to one of the stored memory frequencies without losing your current VFO frequency location. And then move back to where you came from when ready.

• Press the V<>M button.
  • The V<>M button will turn Yellow.
  • The current VFO frequency will display in the window to the left of the V<>M button.
  • PowerSDR will move to the frequency of the selected memory.
• Press the V<>M button again.
  • The radio will be returned to it's previous VFO frequency.
  • The V<>M button back ground color will return to normal.
  • The VFO frequency display next to the V<>M button will be blank.
