Hi Lou!

Many thanks. Got it perfectly now, and it plays like a charm.

Knew what frequency I was going for, so your clue provided the missing link.


If Buddy doesn't catch it here, I'll send it to him tomorrow privately
because that would be an important thing to have in the book, and probably
the simplest to explain. I see too that it holds where you were last, so it
functions similar to a preset so the most important amateur and broadcast
channels are in easy reach.

73,
Dave

Dave,

You can direct enter a frequency on the FM broadcast band but only when the
radio is invoked. As far as I know, there is no way to tell what frequency
you're on aside from entering it directly. You must also enter all 5 digits
for the radio to move to that frequency. 73. Lou WA3MIX Lou Kolb Voice-over
