Steve:
Well, a few minutes ago, I tried what you suggested with the second button
in the second row immediately to the right of the tuning knob, and found out
something else interesting.
If you are in split mode, and press the button briefly, it will give you
your V F O A frequency, and if you hold that button down, it will then give
you your V F O B frequency reading.
I am not sure if that was what you were trying to say in your last post, but
I never knew that capability existed!
Guess we learn something new every day.
Thanks for responding to my initial suggestion as you did.

Tom,
I was also thinking maybe he got into split mode, however...... The button
you suggest pushing actually toggles between split and normal
operation. So pressing that key doesn't tell you what mode you are
in, it switches between split and normal. A better choice to see if
you are in split mode is to hit the key just to the right. This is the
second row down, second key from the left in the block of keys just to
the right of the main tuning knob. If in normal vfo mode, hitting this
key just gives a boink. If you are in split mode, this key announces
the other vfo and you will hear "S" followed by either"A" or "B"
followed by frequency.
Hope that makes sense.
73, Steve KW3A
