I'm not sure what your question is, can you restate it?
I'll try although it wasn't a question, it was an unexpected observation.
Each of the memories can be programmed so that both VFO (and mode for
each if I recall, been some years) are set, in this case one VFO for
USB/FT8 and the other for CW, with their specific frequencies as
required.
Yes, and very thoughtful of Wayne. That's exactly what I did. In
addition, I set the "channel hopping" mode ["*" in the name IIRC] for
the 5 of them so that once recalled, the Big Knob jumps through each of
them meaning you don't have to recall the next one, it's automagic ...
for VFO A at least.
Then you would simply use the A/B for the mode choice of the moment
and tap mode if you want DATA A from USB for example.
El Correcto ... at least that was my plan. Unfortunately, when I channel
hop to the next one with the BK, VFO A hops very proficiently, however
it doesn't drag VFO B along to the next channel with it.
To change channels, recall another memory slot; correct the mode if
needed.
That's what my slick little scheme was supposed to avoid -- having to do
a recall [tap M>V, select, tap M>V]
I went a slightly different route, using ten memories, I have each
channel programmed for a specific mode, "1 CW", "1 USB" etc. then if
data, remember that the USB channel is used, but switch to DATA mode.
That works too, and it's not like I'm going to run out of memory slots,
and if all 10 were placed into a channel hopping block, you can move
from one to the next with the BK only.
It would be FAR simpler in the US if the BAND was permitted (as other
countries allow), not limited to specific frequencies and that would
also allow simpler contact with other that have different channel
requirements (yeah, it's become a DX band, duh).
Well, 60 m is what it is worldwide and being one of the regulators is
way above my pay grade. A great number of countries have allocated the
WRC-15 decision of 5351.500 - 5366.500 KHz [15 KHz] which overlaps the
US "Channel 3" at 5358.500. At WRC-12, 5250 - 5450 was originally proposed.
