[Elecraft] m1-m4 memory buttons

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

To all who responded thanks!

I was missing the M to V step.  For some reason I thought you just hit the
M1 or M2 key and it would pull the memory.  

I have not tried it since all the replies but I am sure that will fix it.

Thanks again.

Mike,

The 0 - 9 buttons are 'quick memories' and are the same as normal memories 0
thru 9.
If you have data stored in the normal memories 0-9, then tapping M>V
followed by a tap of the appropriate button should retrieve the memory
contents.

If you want the 0-9 buttons to act like 'band select' buttons, then set the
CONFIG: MEM 0-9 menu to BAND SEL and once settings are stored for any
frequency in a band, those memories will return to the last used frequency,
mode, antenna selection, filter selection on that band.

You can also use the 0-9 buttons to store those memories.  Set up VFO A and
VFO B each with their modes and other settings.  Then tap V>M followed by a
tap to one of the 0-9 buttons.  To retrieve, tap M>V folowed by a tap to one
of the keypad 0-9 buttons.


The M1-M4 buttons are similar, but are PER BAND.  That means you must select
the band first.  Then you may store or retrieve the memory contents for each
of the 4 buttons.  Tap V>M, then tap the M1-M4 button to store.  Tap M>V
followed by one of the M1-M4 button to retrieve.
