experiment on my own, but it would be nice to have some sense of how
other hams have utilized the memory system before launching onto
something."

One use of memories could be for scanning selected frequencies.

For DXers, they might store a DXpedition's announced transmit frequencies
 on each band/mode and continuously scan them for activity.

For 10-meter FMers, they could store the popular 10-meter FM frequencies
and or repeater frequencies and scan them for activity.

Memory scanning is covered in the manual, but requires the use of a
button on the Yaesu microphone for the scan feature to work unless you
have the program named "MPmem" which is freeware and is available for
download from VA3CR's FT-1000MP Web site.  Mpmem is a memory manager
program for all models of MP and does many things, one of which is a
scanning feature which does not require the Yaesu microphone.
