Subject: How to program the Book memories in the Yeasu VXA-100 (without the compter interface)

An inquiry to Yeasu yielded this:

From: David Akins 
Subject: Re: VXA-100 Computer Programming Interface

The PC Programming Kit is our item CT-64.  It includes the serial data
cable and the programming software (MS-DOS - based) for the VXA-100.
Suggested retail is $99.00.  Contact a VXA-100 dealer to purchase
this.

You can program the book memory section without the software if you
wish.  You might or might not have received a half-page sheet
explaining this inserted into your Operating Manual


VXA-100 - BOOK Memory Programming Procedure

7 Press and hold the PTT and LAMP switches while powering-on the radio
to activate the FIELD programming mode.  The letters "Fd" appear in
the upper left corner of the display.

7 Dial or key in the desired frequency to program into memory.

7 Press and hold the [MW(SPL.W)] key (on the Aviator Pilot model) or
the [MW(SKIP)] key (on the Aviator Pro model) for 2 seconds.  The
display will show "BOOK ___" and a channel number in blinking letters.
An underline appears in the display after the word "BOOK"  to indicate
currently vacant memory channels.

7 Within five seconds, rotate the CHANNEL selector knob to select the
desired channel number into which you wish to store this frequency.
If five seconds elapse with no activity, the channel selection mode
cancels.  

7 Within five seconds of selecting the desired channel number, press
and hold the [MW(SPL.W)] or [MW(SKIP)] key as appropriate for two
seconds.  The frequency is now programmed into the selected memory
slot.  

7 The display will now show a row of eight zeros with the first digit
blinking.  Rotate the CHANNEL selector knob to scroll through the
available characters.  When the desired character is displayed in the
blinking position, press down on the VOLUME knob to enter this
character and move to the next position.

7 Select succeeding characters for the alpha/numeric name in the same
manner, pressing down on the VOLUME knob after each selection.

7 After entering the last desired character, press the [MW(SPL.W)] or
[MW(SKIP)] key as appropriate for two seconds.  This will save all
data into this BOOK memory channel.

7 The radio now returns to the frequency tuning stage.  Select the
next frequency desired per the above instructions.

7 When all desired BOOK memories are programmed, power-off the radio
to exit the FIELD programming mode.  When powered-on again, the radio
will enter the normal operating mode.
