THanks Dave again.  Just FYI I finally got my PLS straight.  To set my PL
or at least what I thought was it I would press 7 first and then f and
then I would look around for the PL and would assume that the low beep was
my 67 Hz, but there was way more then 42 turns of the knob before I
reached the beep again.  Now I got it straight.  What toes the four key do
then, because I am pressing it some times by mistake and am getting the
NOAA weather radio stations, and it can be a challenge getting it back
into the regular mode.
