I would also prefer that BAND function as a striclty ham bandswitch, even though I do a lot of SWLing also. Or perhaps it is bacause I do both hamming and SWLing that I find BAND a little annoying; if you stick to either ham bands or SWBC bands you are probably happy with the arrangement.
What would be really nice would be the ability to select any contiguous ten slots in frequency memory as the current "quick" memory, not just memory locations 00 through 09. Then you could bank switch SWBC freqs, ham bands, AM Bcst freqs, etc. into quick memory, accessible with the number keypad. Another thing that would be useful for general coverage users would be a super-coarse tuning rate that would allow the VFO knob to change the display frequency in 1 MHz increments. That is how the Kenwood R-1000 SW receiver bandswitch worked: essentially a 30-position band switch. It was very nice for getting around the entire general coverage frequency space. 73, Drew AF2Z On Sun, 27 Mar 2011 11:30:14 -0400, Mike NF4L wrote: >I have to agree about the herring, Rich. > >This is the second desing decision I disagree with, an astonishingly small >number, >given the total.
