Chris,

You're right about the menu setting, but the key combination you described 
gets you into Remote mode, at which point you can turn cross-band on or off 
with the appropriate DTMF tones.  If you want to get into Cross-band mode, 
you turn the radio off and turn it back on while pressing the Tone button. 
You also need to have each transceiver on a different band, or you'll get an 
error beep when you try to enter Cross-band mode.

Steve
