    Steve:

I'll have to try some of those things that you suggest with the THF6A
software.

I did some basic programming with the software quite a while ago, but
haven't gone into anything else because the radio is now set up the way I
like it.

But you're right;  that software can really come in handy when the radio
doesn't tell you what you need.

Thanks, and best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
