What you do to program memories, is program in the first one, then set up
the next frequency and all, tones and the like, and hit function, tune 1
click to the right, then hit the memory button, a little tip, if you ever
forget where you are, or want to add things later, to in to the memory, and
tune to the highest memory position you used, then go back to VFO, get the
frequency you want to program in, hit function, dial up 1 time, and hit
memory.  Very easy once you get the hang of it.
