[1000mp] Survey: Memory Usage

Wed, 24 Apr 2002 17:24:43 -0400

I use all my memories and wish I had more. With my many ham, shortwave and
utility interest's, there just are not enough. I use TrxManager to store
frequency information for my various interest, and upload those as needed.

Qmb is used to keep track of several frequencies that I bounce between
depending on propagation for a talk show that is on the AM broadcast bands
late at night. This way I don't have to keep those tying up memory
positions.

I also use the P memories for scanning and tuning around between band
limits. For example 17 meters.

I also use TrxManager to record these talk show, ham nets, and other ham
schedules. Especially for when I am not able to be around the shack.

For example I might be listening to a favorite ham frequency late at night
on wireless remote speakers or headsets from my room upstairs, but I don't
want to miss a recording later in the night after I am a sleep. TrxManager
will switch the rig in the ham shack downstairs to the right frequency and
mode, and do the recording for me, even though I fell a sleep listing to a
different frequency and mode earlier in the night.

Some memory configurations I use as linear, and some I use as banks. For
example I might want to scan certain utility frequencies on shortwave. I
will put frequencies in banks that don't need to switch the relays for the
low pass filters. This way it can be scanning away for hours, and not
tripping those relays all the time. This also helps sort daytime groupings
from night time.
