Harvey,

Since I don't know which Jim to contact, or his address, I will send 
my thoughts about his possible problem to the list.

I think what has happened is that you have the duel watch activated.

In that mode, assuming you are operating on the A band, whenever a 
signal comes on the frequency or memory channel that is currently set 
on the B band, the receiver automatically switches to that channel. 
Conversely, if you are currently operating on the B band, the receiver 
will switch to a signal that appears on whatever frequency you last 
used in the A band.

Since I have the older Wouxun from 2 years ago, mine powers up in that 
mode every time I turn the radio on.

To kill it, I simply press the button just below the right hand bottom 
corner of the speaker one time. The duel watch then remains turned off 
unless I turn it back on with another push of that button, or until I 
turn the radio off, and then back on again.

If I understand correctly, more recent releases of the Wouxun remember 
whether the duel watch is on or off when the radio is powered down, 
and leave it set accordingly when you turn it on again.

If I am answering the wrong problem, perhaps Buddy or someone else can 
straighten both of us out.

Subject: Wouxun question


While I was at Jim's yesterday working on his computer, I had a chance 
to
take a look at his Wouxun rig.  Unfortunately,I hit the select button 
twice
to listen to the menus and must have dome something wrong, because now 
in
his list of ten memories, whenever the 146.86 repeater is active, 
that's the
only repeater he can access from his memory list.  If anyone knows how 
to
undo this without resetting the radio back to its factory settings, 
please
contact him on or off list and help us.  This was all my fault, and if 
I
knew how to program that radio I would do it myself.  I must have 
given that
repeater some kind of priority without meaning to.  Thanks and 73.
Harvey
