UNABLE TO ACCESS 80M BAND

ZL1BHQ
I have only just noticed that I am unable to acquire 80m band access when paging, either up and down, with the Band change button. All other bands from 160m to 6m are available. However, when manually entering an 80m frequency through the Freq Entry process I have 80m availability, but when changing bands again the 80m after this is lost. I have maintained all MCU upgrades as and when they have become available, including the latest - 4.25.
Any suggestions as to the corrective measures required to remedy this problem would be most welcome. Maybe I have a "fat finger problem" !!.
Thanks in advance for your help.

That sounds like the expected behavior when the 80M band has been
disabled. Check the CONFIG menu item, "BND MAP" (band map) -- page 54
of the rev D manual.
