The waterfall low/high settings determine the color "distribution" of the waterfall display based on noise floor (low setting) and max signals (high setting) Low bands, like 160m have a much higher noise floor than say 10m, so the waterfall settings for 160m do not work very well for 10m. Now you can set them for each band to "normalize: the waterfall display across a wide frequency range.

be used?

Waterfall Low/High Levels by Band. When you set the waterfall low/high levels 
in the Setup form, those levels are saved in the database for the active band 
and recalled when you select that band again. The waterfall low/high level 
settings are saved for 160-6m, WWV, Gen and all transverter bands. For users 
with a FLEX-5000 + RX2, since the RX1 and RX2 waterfall displays are not 
independent, the RX2 band’s waterfall settings are inherited from the settings 
saved for RX1 and are set based on the current RX1 band.
