Craig,

I am not certain why you believe the current bandswitching method is 
confusing - unless you are trying to follow the several suggestions for 
changing the band selection. 

I find the BAND up/down switch similar to the old rotary bandswitches.  
You go one way (usually clockwise) to go to a higher band and the other 
way to go to a lower band.  And you had to do it one switch detent at a 
time, there was no hopping from one band direct to another unless they 
were adjacent. 

One can easily count finger taps on the band button just as easily as 
counting rotary switch detent positions - one just has to remember how 
many bands apart the present one is from the desired one.
Just my opinion.

73,
Don W3FPR
