I just got one of the popular Baofeng HTs and, thanks to Buddy's excellent document, I'm gradually figuring it out.  But I do have a couple questions:

1:  When I unkey, it takes about a half-second for the transmitter to drop out, even though I've followed buddy's recommendations about what to turn off in the menus.  This is not a big deal at all.  I was just wondering if it's normal.

2:  for a while, whenever I punched in a frequency in frequency mode, I was getting an incorrect frequency.  I fixed this by setting the frequency step item to 10 khz.  But I'm not sure if this is the correct setting for conventional 2-meter operation in the U.S.  Any suggestions welcome.  Thanks.  Lou  WA3MIX
