I don't. Not really. Honestly, while I'm happy that that Radio Australia
International is so clear, it's just another catch for me, something for my
log book. I hear it every night, and I'm always looking for the odd catch,
not the regular one.

I think I've got 5 memories filled on my RX-320, zero on my S700, and none
on my Sangean ATS-909, apart from the manufacturer ones.

I only use memories when I'm hunting numbers stations- I can program a bunch
in for the next hour and rapid fire between them, but then they get
discarded after that's done with.

I use every single one in my 706mk2g. I think it's got maybe 108
total?? counting the 6 scan/band edge memories..I'd have to double
check.
I use the first few as instant bandswitch memories in order. IE: #1
160m, fav freq, #2 80m, fave freq, and on up the spectrum to 10m. That
way I can jump ham bands real fast and land on my usual first likely
freq. As the M's are tunable, each is like a seperate VFO until you
reset it. Then I have an area for 2m and 70cm repeaters, and simplex.
Then all the WWV's in order. Then some HF aircraft. Then some misc HF
BC, one AM-BC, and one FM-BC setting. Then one for the noaa wx on
162.40. Then some ACARS freq's, then many of the local VHF air freq's.
Then in the last banks, I have all the local 460 mhz police with alpha
numeric labels programmed so I can keep track of what channel it is.
Then fire, ambulance. Then the six scan M's, which are used mainly to
set up band edges for scan modes, etc..I could use 200 more....I
filled up all of mine the first 48 hours I had the radio. I also have
a separate 10 mem scratchpad memory. I don't use it too much. I think
it's loaded with a few AM-BC freq's at the moment...One thing I can
do, but haven't yet, is to store whole 100 mem banks on the puter as
txt files and upload to the radio. I could have whole complete sets
that vary to the use, and could be quickly replaced. IE: I could have
them all SWL, or all aircraft, or all whatever...Get tired of one,
upload a new one. This is easily done if you have the ci-v interface
and the software. I have the software, but haven't built the ci-v
thing yet.. It's pretty simple though.. MK
