Memory Mode [27]

We have a memory space that contains user

defined frequencies. Each address is called a

Channel and they are numbered from 000 to

999. Each Channel holds a frequency plus other

parameters. Let's focus on just frequency

for now.

If I retrieve the data held in Channel 002, I will get 435.000 MHz in this

example.

This channel memory space doesn't really have a name. The figure on [27] just

refers to the individual channels and calls them Standard Memory Channels.

We also have a memory space that contains collections of what I call "pointers".

A pointer is just a channel number. This space is divided into 10 Memory Banks.

For example, I could have a Memory Bank like this:

I added "Pointer to" in the above table in order to differential these entries from

the Channel Memory shown at the top of this page.

By selecting this Memory Bank, I will have access to only channels 10, 7, 42, 73,

and 128. This would be handy if only these channels are operational within a

given town. Change towns and I could change Memory Banks.

Any of the Memory Banks can contain a pointer to any Channel. So if you liked,

all 10 Memory Banks could point to Channel 042.

The diagram on [27] implies that you can store both Standard Memory Channels

pointers and PMS Memory Channel pointers in one or more Memory Banks. This

is not correct. You can only store Standard Memory channels to Memory Banks.
