For easy band access, I am using the quick band memories laid out such that 1 is 160m to 0 is 6m excluding 60m. This gives an easy two tap band change. These occupy memory locations 00 to 09.
For convenience I have entered the WWV frequencies into memory locations 90 to 94 (the 60m frequenciesoccupy 95 to 99). I found that when I choose certain WWV memories that certain quick band memories are changed to the WWV frequency so that the former in-band frequencies are lost. For example. Choosing memory 90 (2.5 MHz) results in both VFO A and VFO B frequencies being written to 2.5 MHz when I tap M>V then 1 (memory location 01). I found the same for 30m (WWV 10 MHz, quick band memory 4) and 20m (WWV 15 MHz quick band memory 5). If I had a choice, I would prefer that selecting a memory which has its programmed frequency outside the amateur band limits would not overwrite the quick band memories. In other words, in my case, selecting memory 90 would not set VFO A and VFO B to 2.5 MHz, as that is clearly beyond the 160m band edge. 30m and 10 MHz is somewhat less obvious, but I think 10.1 MHz is the lower limit for 30m worldwide. 15 MHz is also well beyond the upper edge of 20m and should not rewrite that quick band memory. Perhaps this is a difficult firmware change, and I'll just have to live with it. If not, I hope you can look into this, Wayne. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
