I have the Mark-V working into a dummy load at 200 watts on the five
60-Meter channels.  When I tested it before I had the antenna tuner in line
and that caused the power difference.  By turning the power on with the FAST
& LOCK buttons pressed and then entering the menu options the normal way,
FAST & ENT, menu options 9-0 through 9-9 opened.  Menu 9-9 is where you
change the option from USA to Gen.  It is the last option when you tune the
VFO to the right.  Then the radio will transceive at any frequency.  I
already have some schedules lined up.  I don't think this will work well as
a DX band as we are limited to the five channels.  But if we behave
ourselves we might be allocated a 150 KC band at a later date.  Looking
forward to hearing some of you on the new band.
