I finally got around to connecting my FT-1000MP to TR and WOW, why did I wait 
so long!?  What a tremendous feature.

The experience did raise some questions:

1.  If I hit CTRL-End to create a cursor in the BANDMAP and then move it to a 
call sign and hit RETURN, the rig tunes to that station.  So far so good.  
Now I want to highlight a different station in the BANDMAP.  How do I do 
this?  I couldn't find a way to move the cursor and had to hit CTRL-End 
again.  I've seen reference to the NEXTBANDMAP key, but can't find details in 
the manual.  Is this what I use?

2.  If the spot in the BANDMAP contains split information the rig setup up 
perfectly when I selected the call in the BANDMAP, but the rig did not return 
to normal non-split operation when the next call (without a split) was 
selected in the BANDMAP.  I had to manually turnoff the split on rig.  Is 
this normal?

3.  I found the tuning rate, with the SHIFT keys, to be just about perfect, 
but is there a way to adjust that tuning rate?

Any assistance with these question would be appreciated.   Thanks.

73, Bob - W3YY
