Guys - Let's end this thread for now. Wayne and I will discuss this next week. (I'm currently at 30,000 ft flying back to CA from a meeting in TX. American Air's in-flight WiFi is pretty cool for workaholics like us..)
Also, please note from the latest manual that quickly double pressing A->B copies ALL VFO A info to VFO B, including mode. We added that some time back specifically for this need. 73, Eric WA6HHQ List Moderator van fair wrote: > MY suggestion which is supported by many more than oppose it, still allows > you to do nothing, leave the menu selection in default and you end up with > exactly what you have now.
