ON EACH OPERATING BAND, 10 SETS OF BAND EDGE PMS MEMORIES, 10 MEMORY BANKS
THAT CAN BE ASSIGNED UP TO 200 CHANNELS FROM THE STANDARD AND PMS MEMORY
CHANNELS, AND 10 WEATHER BROADCAST CHANNELS.  PROGRAMMING A MEMORY CHANNEL
IS DONE IN THE METHOD COMMON TO MOST YAESU RADIOS.  THE DESIRED FREQUENCY,
TONE, AND POWER LEVEL ARE SET UP IN THE VFO MODE.  PRESSING AND HOLDING THE
MR KEY BRINGS UP THE NEXT AVAILABLE MEMORY CHANNEL.  THE SETTINGS CAN BE
STORED THERE OR THE CHANNEL CAN BE CHANGED USING THE UP OR DOWN ARROW KEYS.
A TAG LABEL CAN ALSO BE ADDED TO THE CHANNEL, IF DESIRED.  PRESSING AND
HOLDING THE MR KEY AGAIN STORES THE SETTINGS INTO THE SELECTED CHANNEL.
THE AUTOMATIC REPEATER SHIFT ARS FEATURE GREATLY SIMPLIFIES THIS PROCESS.
THE RADIO HAS THE ABILITY TO STORE TWO HOME CHANNELS, ONE IN THE 2 METER
BAND AND ONE FOR THE FM BROADCAST BAND.  BY DEFAULT, THE FREQUENCIES ARE
144R0 AND 95R0 MHZ, BUT THEY ARE EASILY CHANGED.  THE FT 25R VERSION SOLD
IN THE US COMES WITH 10 CHANNELS THAT ARE PREPROGRAMMED AT THE FACTORY FOR
ACCESS TO NOAA WEATHER INFORMATION STATIONS.  ONCE THE WEATHER BROADCAST
MEMORY BANK HAS BEEN ACTIVATED, THE 10 CHANNELS CAN BE ACCESSED
