Thanks Steve.  Will give that a try.  The CW identifier plays to fast for me 
to hear correctly.  I did find that when the radio is in in the AM or FM 
mode, the number pad figure 7 will announce PL and then I toggle between AM 
or FM for 6 meters.  Gary KB2YAA

Gary,

Not by default, but you can turn the Auto Mode option on with Menu 2.  When
Auto Mode is on, the radio switches to lower sideband below 9.5 MHz, and
upper sideband for anything above 9.5 MHz.

You can set up other frequency ranges for Auto Mode.  For example, you could
have the radio switch to AM for the AM broadcast band, CW for the CW
portions of all the amateur bands, etc.  You can enter as many as 32
frequency pairs.  Setting up Auto Mode is covered in depth in the manual.

Steve
