Hi Don,

Thanks for the info.  That's what I want to do is to set the limits of each
band both upper and lower in the memory buttons.  I'm still just reading up
on the 940 and am beginning to make sense out of all those buttons and
knobs.  I won't use near all of it's capabilities, basically 40, 20, and 10
meters.  Back in the forties when I first got my ticket I learned on 10
meters which was really open then and I got all around the world with my
little 35 watts from  a rig I built with a single 807 in the final.  I
guess that's why these new rigs baffle me so much with all their knobs and
buttons but I'm getting there.
Thanks again for the info.

Bud
