I found Wayne's explanation on how to set up "channels" so you can instantly hop between them useful as I want to use this feature on vhf.
I agree with Joe's comment below and also when he says "When in 'channel hopping' mode, it might be nice to momentarily display the memory number and text label for a few seconds in the VFO B area when changing channels". However my main issue is how to revert back to normal VFO operation (to tune up and down from the channel frequency) once you've selected a "channel"? If you set up a channel with VFO A=f1 and VFO B=f2, pressing A/B switches the rx to f2 as expected. But rotating VFO A control switches to the next channel hopping frequency which is rather unexpected. I've been trying to think of a way round this. What I think I would like is either (a) having swapped A/B as above, VFO A reverts to normal operation; or (b) for VFO B control to be the "channel" control and VFO A to tune normally up and down from the "channel". Comments appreciated.
