Yes, that is exactly what is happening. I can assure you it is not 
something I programmed into the system.  I checked the config menu (BND 
MAP) and all bands are in. Somehow I may have unintentionally programmed 
an issue into the system. I haven't programmed anything into the system 
so resetting the defaults should be no loss if all goes well. The 
curiosity is how I got into this mix in the first place. Included in 
this email is an image of the front panel that might give a clue.

I have the second edition of Fred Cady's book. Point me  in the right 
direction and I'll plow through it.

All: I really appreciate the help.
