Ernie,
When you say the recall button, I assume you are refering to the memory
recall system.
That system is setup to save memories for later recall. The mode value in
the memory
you recall will determine what mode you are going to get. It sounds like
you have
this mode defined to be USB.
But, the best way to change bands is with the 30 band buttons on the right
side of the
radio panel. These buttons remember all the previous settings from the last
time
you were on that band. For PSK, you just use the CW buttons. They will
remember
you were on PSK mode and return you to the last mode and frequency for that
band.
Remember, the band buttons are really not for modes but for band segments.
In other
words the 20 CW button is for 14.0 to 14.15 mhz. The 20 SSB button is for
14.15
to 14.35 mhz.
73,
Carl Moreschi N4PY
