Hi Dave,
Tapping BAND brings up a set of band-stacking switches on-screen, one for each

Even in the case of the K3, the VFO and RIT controls are on the right side of

Hi all,
We're still exploring ways to add 40 meters to the AX1. There are various
trade-offs (size, weight, efficiency, bandwidth, ease of tuning, etc.). Once we
have something we know will satisfy our requirements, you'll hear about it here
first. Meanwhile, I recommend a wire tossed in a

You don't always have a manual around, or internet access.
IMHO, a radio with a large LCD should have at least a subset of the owner's

We've always provided a host API that access to virtually 100% of the controls
