[Elecraft] Newbie operational quirks?

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

Independent bands is not yet available in the firmware.  I know it is 
being addressed for the sub-receiver,  but I am not certain about the 
possibility for cross-band operation with only the main receiver installed.

When you try to store a memory, how long is your 'hit' on the V>M 
button? (it should be a TAP)  Watch the VFO B area, and if you see "NO 
DVR" flash there, you are 'holding' the button instead of 'tapping' it.  
There should be no problem storing into an empty memory location.

Yes, when a memory is recalled, both the VFO A and VFO B contents from 
that memory are recalled - that is normal behavior.

73,
