More Observations As Of 6-26-91 - KC2CT
  ---------------------------------------

. FM mode defaults to WIDE (12khz).  This is WAY too wide for accessing
  any 10m repeater.  Hit the 455khz filter button again for FM-N
  (narrow).  This will set the IF to 6khz width, and you be able
  to work FM 10m stations.  Note:  The 8.83 filters are NOT
  selectable in FM mode.

. Memory scrolling via M CH./VFO CH.  You can bypass all unused
  channels if you press the 1 mhz button.  With the button active,
  only stored memory channels will be displayed as the knob is
  rotated.

. Tuneable memories.  Out of the box, the radio is set up for non-
  tuneable memories.  Just bring up setup function xx on the display,
  and set it to ON, and ALL memories can be tuned via the VFO. When
  use the M.CH/VFO CH. switch you will be returned to the original
  frequency & mode setting in the memory.

. It may or may not be obvious to some, but the radio is capable of
  cross-band and/or cross-mode operation.  Just pump the required
  modes and frequencies into memory channels or VFOs, and you're
  off and running.  Hope you have a very broadbanded antenna!

. CW message storage is lost when you power off the radio.  I didn't
  order the DRU-2 option (yet), so I don't know whether these messages
  will be saved.  You'd think that with everything else that is stored
  in RAM and backed up by battery, that Kenwood would have made pro-
  visions to keep recorded messages alive also.  A modification????

. When adding additional filters, is is necessary to set the
  corresponding switch on.  Under the hatch on top, is a 4 position
  dip switch.  The manual shows a picture of it, but makes no mention
  of their settings.  This switch is necessary to inform the micro-
  processor of the filters' absence or presence.  ON is for presence,
  OFF is for absence.  Below is the switch diagram:

   -----
   | = |  <-- YK-88C-1, YK-88CN-1, YK-88SN-1

   | = |  <-- No Function
