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.

On my VR5000, none of the 2000 memories are being used. On my R75, I have
filled up about 3o of the memories with different frequencies that I've
caught number stations on. Other than that, only my scanners have stuff in
memory...

I have a Sangean 606A and an Icom R-75;
I use the memories all the time;
- saves time, keeps things orderly , and if yo put it in memory, six months
later it's
still there!

Don't use 'em here at the moment, did have a few entered into the R8 years ago.

I use the memories as much as or more often than the VFO.

The memories contain frequencies for both utility
stations (military, ICAO aircraft, USCG, etc.) and
AM broadcasters.

I don't often monitor foreign broadcasters.

It's harder to work with them then to just load the freq.

I'm a hunt-and-pecker myself, but I do see the beauty in the 2010's
one button-push design for program listening. The 2010 also permits
you to enter FM, AM broadcast, SW, LW, and AIR frequencies into its 32
presets in any combination you desire. I must also say that the
pre-programmability of the Sangean 909/RS DX-398 page system is also
very well thought out.

I could get by pretty well with write only memories.

I'm much more likely to store something than to recall it.

I use them, but it depends on the radio. On the ATS-909 I have everything I
want saved and organized, of course it's my oldest radio. On the Sat 800 I
only have things I listen to every day saved.

The thing which makes me reply to this thread is the SW77, at first glance,
the memory/timer setup seems confusing at best, but once I wrapped my mind
around it, I really started using those memories, and with a little time
spent programming them smartly, it does save a little time, esp when I'm
swinging my sleepy hand over there in the middle of the night to change the
freq. My wife is also accustomed to using the memories now, and she acts
like she doesn't want to push any of the other buttons.

But I'll admit I'm not using the timer function much in the SW77.. That
radio can be programmed to be more or less automated in it's operation..
While I like the memory/timer setup now that I understand it, it does seem a
bit like overkill. As opposed to the SAT-800 which is very simplistic about
memory. The ATS-909 has an excellent memory setup which makes sense from
moment 1. The ATS-909 memory holds so many it can be used as a freq
notepad.
