[1000mp] Modes on a Mark V

[Deon Erwin]

Bob

The situation you experienced is due to the functionality of your logging
program and not due to the radio.  Your logging program is set to
automatically change the mode on your radio according to the US band plan.
You can prevent it from occurring again by changing the auto-mode settings
on your logging program to suit your operating habits.

Or, you can follow John's advice if you do not wish to change the setup of
your logging program.  I suggest you press the SUB button and not pinch it.
Pinching may upset the radio.

Which logging program are you using?

There is button on the keypad that says SUB. Pinch that button and then the
mode.

Well I just ran into something interesting so thought I would ask you.
VK6LA was operating on 40 mtrs.  He was transmitting on 7.069 phone and
listening 7.200.  My logging program switch the radio to the proper
frequency on both VFOs, but because 7.069 is CW for the US it set the mode
of both VFOs to CW.  I changed VFO-A to LSB and tuned back, but then
realized that VFO-B was still CW and I couldn't figure out how to change the
mode.  I remember reading it somewhere and finally got around it by press
the A>B button to make VFO-B 7.069 on LSB and then walked it up.
Unfortunately by the time I did this he had left.

So I have two questions, 1) What is the easy way to change the mode on VFO-B
and 2) is there a menu item that would have caused VFO-B to automatically
set up at LSB since that is what we use in the US?  Sure as heck don't want
to go through that again.
