Band Switch questions

[Randy Tomer]

1) Is there a way to eliminate the 60 meter band in the band switch sequence?

2)  Is there a way to separate the 80 meter band into 75 m / 80 m two different bands?

Thanks, Randy W6RA

Yes; see CONFIG:BND MAP.

No, but you could use two different memories set to your favorite  
starting points, then use M>V to get there quickly.

What I do is set up the per-band quick memories for different modes  
and starting points on each band. In the case of 80 m, tapping M>V /  
M1 gets me to CW mode at 3540, M2 is LSB at 3900, M3 is AM-SYNC at  
3870, and M4 is PSK31 at 3580.

Ahem, I'm going to top post my reply ;-)

I use the M1-M4 memories as you do, Wayne.  That said there would be merit to having a 75/80 meter separation at least in the band output info that drives decoders like the KRC2 that are used for automatic antenna selection.
