Programmable function keys P0, P1, P2 and P3
Can be assigned to MR-CH 1/2/3/4

I have not figured out how set which zone and channel correspond to MR-CH 1-4. Are these always Zone 1 Channels 1-4? Is there a way, for example to assign Zone 2 Ch 3 to P1?

I would like to be able to select a weather channel (from zone 2) with P1 but do not want to get to the weather channel with the up/down keys navigating through zone 1.

Professional radio, amateur question. My apologies if this is the wrong forum.

If my memory serves me correctly, those channel select options will bring you to those channels on whatever given zone you are on. So, if you are on zone 2 and hit P1 it will bring you to zone 2 channel 1. Depending if you want to use priority scan or not, try programming the button to either PRIO A or B and in the second zone under ATR (all the way to the left) select either A or B for NOAA. When you press that button it should bring you to that channel. If most of the time you operate on a particular zone (like zone 1) than you can use the memory recall (MR-CH 1-4) options for the others. However, if you press the PRIO A or B button that brings you to zone 2 and then press MR-CH 2, it will bring you to zone 2 channel 2. Like I said i'm going by memory here, but worth a try.

Awesome memory

A million and one permutations but none to do what I want. Your answer is what I needed to know. Thanks.
