Hi, all.

Well, for now, I used Mark's suggestion by getting into menu 100 to set the 
scan limits for VFO A.

I will probably ultimately try Steve's strategy of working directly with the 
memories, though, if I want more than one set of "scan limits" for each VFO.

Which brings up a question:

Can you set up one of the VFO's to scan the WX weather channels while 
traveling?

I would assume so, but haven't tried that yet.

Thanks to you guys for your great help as usual.
