Deleting/Clearing/Masking Memories VX-8R

I couldn't figure this out until I saw this,

Yea Scott, in case you don't already know, with the RT Systems everytime you reload it erases all the memories, if you want to delete a memory just remove it from the file and it won't load the next time. Also if you want to remove it from the radio, hold the fw key for 1/2 a second, long enough for the icon to show up in the display, then press the internet key and the freq is deleted.

Pg 54 in the manual. Masking... duh.

Or you could reset the radio, Pg 134, but that gets rid of everything. Unless you are programming in memories, menu item 54 Memory Protect will save you the head ache of goofing up the 999+ memory spaces.

Thanks West!

Is that method really deleting the memory, or is it just making the radio skip over it?

Skips over, but you can program over the top of the masked freq too. It is pretty easy to fat finger (thumb) that func key and add in a few extra memories where you don't want them. This is the alternative to reseting the radio's microprocessor if you can't handle those mistake memories.
