Hi Rick,
As I mentioned in another note, you imply that the documentation as
written is incomplete or inaccurate. I posted to disagree. ;-)
WRT recalling a memory bank (pg. 33), step 4 of the manual says, "...
then press the [V/M(PRI)] key *momentarily*", i.e. press and release.
WRT memory bank scanning (pg. 39), step 5 of the manual says, "Now,
*press and hold* in the [V/M(PRI)] key for one second...." Follow the
instructions, and you'll be good to go!
That said, whatever instructions or procedures that you develop that
better enable you to successfully operate your radio is a Good Thing.
Have fun!

Don,
My manual also shows Memory Bank Scan on page 39 but the figures do not
show the ¡°b¡±. Not sure if you are saying that your copy of the manual
shows the ¡°b¡±. However, it is certainly doing a bank scan.
It wasn¡¯t that page 33¡¯s Memory Bank Recall was wrong, just did not
fully explain to me what to expect and what will happen if I do anything
wrong. As a newbie, I like to avoid surprises while I try to learn
something new.

The "Memory Bank Recall" function works for me exactly as written in the
manual. If you press and hold V/M in the manual's step 4, what you try
to avoid in your step 4, you'll enter "Memory Bank Scan" mode (I guess
the "b" is for "bank scan"). See page 39 (in my manual, anyway) for more
info.

I have found that the Memory Bank Recall Function does not work exactly
as described in my book. Here is what works for me:
Memory Bank Recall
1.If necessary, press V/M to get into memory mode
2.Press and hold BAND until display shows BAND # where # is the band
number and SEL is flashing; you can also select NO BANK to exit the
Memory Banks
3.Rotate DIAL to select desired bank
4.Press V/M for about 1 second; if too long, you will see MBLSCN and
band won¡¯t change. You will see ¡°b¡± on top of BANK on the left side of
the display. Press BAND to clear the ¡°b¡± (what does the ¡°b¡± mean?)
I would appreciate others testing this procedure to see if it works for
them.
