FWIW ..

You may find you need to do the following to get the 60M band to 
come up properly when you press "0":

After you load the firmware and do a master reset, "0" may bring up 
80M (3.500 Mhz) rather than 60M.  If this happens, manually enter a 
frequency in the 60M range in the the VFO.  Once you have done 
that,  the "0" key will work properly to put the radio on 60M.

I've found that most of the time (but not always) after a master reset 
the 60M band selection defaults back to 80M.  I've also found that 
occasionally (but not every time) after a power on/off cycle, the 60M 
band selection also defaults back to 80M.  Just enter a 60M 
frequency manually to get it working properly.

Already sent a note to ditsnbits.  Hopefully this will get fixed before 
the band opens officially.

YMMV .. Grant/NQ5T
