One more thing I should have mentioned...
Let's say in my example you're on 20 meters and monitoring a repeater with
the subreceiver. Now, a friend calls you on the repeater. To talk to your
buddy, you'll need to switch the PTT Icon, that right arrow button, to the
subreceiver before answering him/her on the repeater.

Richard, the purpose of the subreceiver is so that you can use the HF
features of the 2000 and its VHF/UHF features simultaneously.
The subreceiver is turned on when you press the subreceiver volume control.
That knob has nothing to do with whether or not you're controling the
subreceiver. Here are the subreceiver controls taken from the front panel
key layout:
*LEFT ARROW. [Main] Left button n cursor pad. Main transceiver. Transfers
transmit freq to main. OR, goes out of a
submenu. N/A.
*RIGHT ARROW. [Sub] Right button in cursor pad. Transfers operating freq to
sub transceiver. OR, Select a
submenu when applicable in Menu Mode. N/A.
*CONTROL BUTTON. Round button bottom right of main tuning dial. Toggles
operating control between main
transceiver and sub receiver.`
For example, you might be working 20 meter HF and want to monitor a
repeater, or a packet cluster. To do this, you'd want the PTT and control
on the main receiver, except you'll first need to switch the control to the
subreceiver to adjust it to the channel you wish to monitor. You'll also
need to have the subreceiver activated with the subreceiver's volume knob.

Colin!
OMG! That's *so* simple. You are right - I have the Sub power button "on."
I'm going to go turn it "off" and try just using the left/right main/sub
buttons.

Richard:
I find that you don't want to use the sub receiver control function. This
function activates when you press the sub receiver volume control
in...simply use the right and left keys in the diamond configuration to
select which side of the radio you want to be on. The control function
seems to confuse everything and make simple operation more difficult.
If you have activated the sub receiver control, simply press the sub
receiver volume control once to exit that mode and then you can use the
right and left buttons...
If you want to do a skype thing sometime just let me know and we can arrange
a sked.

Hi!
This question has to do with operating the Sub receiver - I think this is
referred to as "PTT" and/or "Control" or something like that.
When I press the "Sub" button [right button in the four button diamond
shaped cluster to the right of the main tuning dial] it moves me to the Sub
receiver. Indeed, I can then hear, change frequencies thereon, change bands
thereon and so on. However, I do not seem to have "control" (question) of
the Sub receiver - like for changing PL tones for a 2M repeater.
I don't get it : ( What am I missing? From the manual, I understand that
there is a difference between "PTT" and/or "Control", but I am confused. If
I move over to the Sub receiver I would like PTT and PL tone functionality
to be there also.
