Convenient MeMory funCtions
The FTDX3000 contains ninety-nine regular memories, labeled “01” through “99”, nine special programmed limit
memory pairs, labeled “P-1L/P-1U” through “P-9L/P-9U”, and ve QMB (Quick Memory Bank) memories, labeled “C-1”
through “C-5”. Each stores various settings, in addition to the VFO-A frequency and mode (See below). By default, the
99 regular memories are contained in one group; however, they can be arranged in up to six separate groups, if desired.
QuiCk Point:
The FTDX3000 memory channels store the following
data (not just the operating frequency):
 VFO-A Frequency
 VFO-A Mode
 Clarier status and its Offset Frequency
 ANT status
 IPO status
 Roong lter status and its Bandwidth
 Attenuator status
 Noise Blanker status
 IF SHIFT and WIDTH status
 CONTOUR status and its Peak Frequency

QMB Channel Storage
1. Tune to the desired frequency on the VFO-A.
2. Press the blue [STO] button. The “beep” will con-
rm that the VFO-A contents have been written to
the currently available QMB memory.
If you repeatedly press the [STO] button, the QMB
memories will be written in the following order:
Q-2  Q-3  Q-4  Q-5  Q-1.
Once all ve QMB memories have data on them, previ-
ous data (starting with channel Q-1) will be over-written
on a rst-in, rst-out basis.
QMB Channel Recall
1. Press the blue [RCL] button. The current QMB
channel data will be shown on the frequency display
eld and the QMB memory channel number will be
shown in the Multi-Display Window.
2. Repeatedly pressing the [RCL] button will toggle
you through the QMB channels:
 Q-2  Q-3  Q-4  Q-5  Q-1.
3. Press the [V/M] button to return to the VFO or Mem-
ory mode.
adviCe:
Rotating the Main Tuning Dial knob, or changing the
operating mode, will place the transceiver in the “Mem-
ory Tune” mode, which is a temporary “pseudo-VFO”
method of tuning off of a stored memory channel. If you
do not over-write the contents of the current memory
channel, the original contents will not be disturbed by
the initiation of Memory Tune operation.

Memory Tune Operation
You may freely tune off from any memory channel in a “Memory Tune” mode, this is similar to VFO operation. So long
as you do not over-write the contents of the current memory, Memory Tune operation will not alter the contents of the
memory channel.
1. Press the [V/M] button to recall any memory chan-
nel.
adviCe:
If you can not enter the “Memory” mode, check to
see if the transceiver is in VFO-B mode (the green
[VFO-B(RX)] Indicator/Switch is illuminated). If so,
press the [VFO-A(RX)] Indicator/Switch to return
operation to VFO-A. Now, press the [V/M] button to
enter the “Memory” mode.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob; you will now ob-
serve that the memory channel frequency is chang-
ing.
adviCe:
 During Memory Tune operation, you may change
operating modes, and engage the offset Clarier,
if desired.
3. Press the [V/M] button momentarily to return to the
originally memorized frequency of the current mem-
ory channel. One more press of the [V/M] button will
return you to VFO operation.
note:
Computer software programs utilizing the CAT sys-
tem interface port may presume that the transceiver is
operating in the VFO mode, for certain features like
“band mapping” and/or frequency logging, because the
“Memory Tune” mode so closely resembles the VFO
mode. Be sure that you have the FTDX3000 operating in
a control mode compatible with your software’s require-
ments. Use the VFO mode if you’re not sure.
