Butch:

Perhaps you described things better than I did, but these are the results I
get too, which is why I gave Jim the instructions I did.

Works perfectly here.

Here is what I have in my notes.

OnI thought this was a menu choice, but it is not.  To mute or attenuate the
band you're not using press function low to turn this mode on or off.
If I remember right, you press function then low, not at the same time.  I
just tried it on my radio, press function then press transmit power button,
this will put other vfo at about half volume while transmitting and
receiving on main one.  Doing this again puts it back to normal.
