Okay, then how do I select a mode in the B band and what is the deal with
440?  I just was talking on a repeater that appears to be a link here in
southeastern Michigan, but I had to manually go to the input and monitor
through a scanner.  Also, how do i enter in frequencies in KHz, such as AM
or short wave, and frequencies above 1000 MHz?  Also, with the CTCSS tones
how can I tell what CTCSS tone frequency I am at?
        My other thing with this is that I'm having a hard time monitoring
one band at a time.
