Butch,

That's an accurate description of the layout.  What he calls the menu button 
is really the tuning knob, but it operates as the menu button in conjunction 
with the function button.  The call button also operates as a call scan 
button, and if you press Function followed by Call, the frequency in the VFO 
is stored in the call channel.

If you press the Function key for 1 second, it locks/unlocks the keyboard. 
Pressing Function followed by Tone lets you set the PL/CTSS/DCS code, and if 
you press Function followed by Tone for 1 second, you scan the respective 
codes.  Pressing Function followed by Low (power) toggles Mute on or off. 
PF1 and PF2 are programmable from the menus, and each can be set to one of 
several functions.  Each of the volume/squelch knobs can be pressed to 
select the appropriate band.  In conjunction with the Function button, they 
step through the radio's different frequency bands.

Steve
