I looked at my drake R7 and see that the "BAND" switch on it doesn't have any band labels on it; Only frequency ranges. It seems that Drake shared your thoughts there, but Drake radios were made for any frequency between .5Mhz and 30Mhz, so their labeling on their radios seems appropriate to me. 73, Tom, N5GE - SWOT 3537 - Grid EM12jq "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" An excerpt from a letter written in 1755 from the Assembly to the Governor of Pennsylvania.
