Hi Everyone,
I've been doing a lot of reading over the last few hours regarding hyper memories. I understand the concept, I think I even understand how to program them on the radio.
I have a FT-8900 with about 250 memories programmed. I set 1 frequency on each side, stored it to Hyper Mem 1, changed one of the channels and stored to hyper mem 2. When I toggle between the 2 Hyper mems, my "default" memory is shown for each.
I also understand that if you want to use Hyper memories to break up what you scan, you enter all the channels in the memories and then "lock out" what you don't want to listen to when picking the corresponding hyper memory. I'm pretty sure I could figure out how to do this on the radio but I want to do it through the software.
I have the FT-8900 Programmer software and I downloaded a demo of the FTB8900 (v1.4.6) and I cannot seem to figure out how to "lock out" certain frequencies based on the hyper memory. I can see how to set the default memory for each hyper mem but I can't see to do much else. I even tried to set all 6 hyper memories to be the same, re-read the radio config and then manipulate. The software still doesn't show the memories in the Hypermemory.
I'm stumped here and I can't use the help on the FT-8900 because wonder Vista has removed the Windows Help executable. Fun is.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide while I try to learn this hobby. Pictures would even be helpful if anyone is using either piece of software =)
