Tom,
No need to be embarrassed. I had the radio for a month before I figured
that out. It can be very confusing managing two transceivers packed into
one box. If you want to tie your brain in knots, try figuring out the
difference between pressing the A or B volume control, and using the Control
button to control the radio you aren't transmitting on. At first, I thought
that was a useless feature, but now I kind of like it. Its advantage is
that you can tune around on the "monitor" radio, but if something happens on
the primary radio, you just grab the mic and start talking.
