[aprssig] D700A Data Band & No 2m band

[Ken Kinyon]

Hello Hasan,
Check the small print notes at left bottom of page 17 in the manual"
"you cannot recall the UHF sub-band in Band A and the VHF sub-band in Band B
at the same time."
I also was wondering what was going on with my radio until I finally found
this note.
73,
Ken W7TS
