Butch,

Pressing numbers on the keypad puts you on one of three frequencies within a 
band.  What they are depends on where you were in the band when you pressed 
a number key.  Think of each number key as a kind of three-position 
temporary memory toggle for that band.  Just to add to the confusion, the 
three values for each number key will change if you switch from VFO A to VFO 
B.

This stuff is discussed to some extent in the manual, and you'll figure it 
out if you play with it a bit more.

Steve
