Wayne - Tnx for explanation. Further question. VFO IND = YES allows VFO B to be
on a different band. This is most useful with the sub receiver.
So if I have VFO IND set to YES, does this preclude using the SCAN feature?

VFO IND = NO (default) keeps VFO A and B on the same band at all times.
VFO IND = YES allows VFO B to be on a different band. This is most useful with
the sub receiver.
VFO LNK just slaves VFO B to VFO A. As you rotate A, B moves along with it. VFO
B can be moved off of VFO A's frequency, in which case moving VFO A will
preserve some offset between the two. In practice this is not used very often,
which is why VFO LNK was moved to a menu entry. This allowed us to use a
regular HOLD of the SUB switch to get into diversity mode.
NOTE: Speaking of which, VFO LNK is *not* needed for diversity receive mode. In
diversity, VFO A automatically controls both the main and sub receiver
frequencies. VFO B can be used as a holding register for another part of the
band, or for use as the TX frequency during SPLIT.
