Hi Butch;

You don't need to be on the band you are entering the frequency for.

When you enter the frequency, the band will switch automatically.

This happens when you are in the V F O mode.

When you are on the "a" band, you are only able to select the three amateur
bands.

The low beep is for 2 meters.

The next two beeps are the same tone.  The first is for 220 and the next one
is for 440.
When you are on the "b" band, the low beep denotes 440 M H Z.

You switch bands with the (3) key by itself.

When you get a low beep, you are on the "a" band and when you are on the "b"
band, you hear a high beep.

I hope this helps.
