Sorry - I wasn't clear enough on this Monday morning.  It will not follow
the radio unless the frequency/mode from the radio is in a valid amateur
band.

Essentially, it does this:

    IF RadioBand <> NoBand THEN ActiveBand := RadioBand;

So, if the frequency information from the radio adds up to a non-ham band,
it won't change the band from what it was.  There is still some chance that
you will get an erroneous reading that will land in a ham band, but that 
does not seem to be the failure mode most people are seeing.
