Try the following. Assuming all your ham bands are mapped "IN", except 5.0 MHz: Starting somewhere on the 40m CW band... FREQ-ENT 5.990 ENTER Move VFO to somewhere above 6.000 BAND-UP You end up on 30m (not in the 40m ham band as you would expect). Go to CONFIG BND MAP and use BAND-DOWN

I tune out of band on a regular basis for SWLing and have no such problem. If you're using rig control software, I suggest you look in that area. 73, Mac, KR0I **An Excellent Credit Score is 750. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps! (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1221823239x1

I've rediscovered the pleasures of SWLing again and have spent much time snooping around the bands, particularly the broadcast bands. There have been no band mapping problems here and no rig control software is in use as I'm into DIY HI! But seriously, no problems at all encountered on v3.14 at

Be aware that roaming outside of the ham bands can cause them to get mapped out. Then you have to go back into Config Band Map to reset them to "IN". This happens to me frequently. 73, Drew AF2Z On Thu, 14 May 2009 18:56:53 -0700 (PDT), Bill NZ0T wrote: > >All of a sudden tonight I can't get t
