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.

JW,

Memories were a point of discussion on the Grundig Satellit 900
'eton e1 xm' radio eGroup at YAHOO !

1700 Menories were Not enough for some posters who wanted the
Memo-Chips that were used in the Grundig Satellit 700.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grundi...00/message/623

My basic responce was after about 125 memories I get Lost and
have to go to my Programmed Memory Log Sheets in a Binder to
locate a specific Memory Number (M#) for a Programmed Frequency.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grundi...00/message/619

NOTE: I have Programmed Memory Log Sheets Binders for:
* Kenwood R-5000 (R5000 ) [ 2 Each ]
* Icom IC-R75 (R-75 )
* Sony ICF-2010
* Drake SW1 (SW-1 )
* Sangean ATS-909
* Grundig Satellit 800-M
* Grundig Yacht Boy 500
* Grundig Yacht Boy 400-PE
Nothing Fancy simply Hand Written : Fill-In-the-Blanks Sheets.
[ Memory Number (M#) : Frequency : Station ID : Times ]
PLUS: In the Binder is a Sheet "How To" Program and Erase the
Memories for that that Radio.

My Tuning-In-and-Listening is ruffly:
* Just Dialing Around = 50%
* Punching In The Numbers = 25%
* Using the Memories = 25%

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.

The only thing I've stored in my ICF-SW7600G's memories are the local FM
stations. Gave up saving SW freqs long ago after recognising that the rx
had waaay too little of 'em. On the AR7030, I don't use the memories at
all (I might if I were using it more). I'm more the band scanning type,
you know... (What is useful in this regard is the ability to jump
directly to popular bands, something that would also be useful on "real
receivers".)

On the rare occasion I use memories, it is like a short-term
"bookmark" - following one particular frequency for a few days, maybe.
Other than that, I've never used them on any receiver I've owned.

I labelled a page in my ATS-909 "KOOKS" and found that one page wasn't
enough ;^)

Seriously, the way I listen to radio is to punch quickly through my
favorites, and if nothing's interesting, start scanning. I use them every
day.

I can't remember to use my memories.

I've never had much use for the memories in a shortwave receiver, at
least not for shortwave stations. I prefer to band-scan or check a
schedule for a particular country. I do use many of the memories in my
Sony-2010 for VHF aircraft frequencies.

I have more memory than I know what to do with, but since I never use it
anyway, it's no big deal.
