Hi Phil, What you are seeing is exactly correct. When you tap the Band switch, you're seeing two "temporary" displays (MHz, then KHz), then it returns to the normal frequency display for your current tuning rate. So, yes, the numbers change 3 times, but that 3rd time is just the rig returning to it's normal display. This is explained a bit more clearly on page 29, right hand side, 3rd checkbox:
"You can check the MHz and kHz digits at any time by tapping BAND. For example, if the VFO frequency is 7100.00 kHz, tapping BAND will first show 7, then 100, then return to the appropriate display for your selected tuning rate." 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Nov 11, 2010, at 4:33 PM, Phil Hystad wrote: > OK, I think I know what I am reading on the LED display but I need > confirmation.
