Ah-ha. When all else fails read the manual. I got my TW-2 just before
Christmas only because they were being discontinued and figured I should
grab it. Plugged it in to hear it speak, but have never used it or read
the manual So now I see how to set the band.
many tnx Butch and John. I would have been very confused if I had tried
using it without setting the band.
