Thanks Paul.  I'll check that out.  What I'm trying to do is have let's say VFO1 scanning the "scanner" frequencies I have loaded, while VFO2 is busy scanning just the amateur bank, without going into the scanner freqs.  If I can figure that out, I'm all set.  I wonder if I can set separate group links in each VFO.  That would do it.

I have a TH-F6A, but recently picked up one of those $50 dual banders just mentioned. The thought was I would similarly take it on hikes, motorcycle trips, etc. With programming software and $50 a copy, the are almost disposable.  The little Baofeng turns out to be a pretty good while a bit quirky radio.

Just joined that, thought I'd ask here while waiting for approval.
Thanks!

Hi guys, just got a new V71A and am a little confused on linking groups.  The manual is just vague enough that I can't figure it out, and I did a search here with no results.

So let's say I have group 0 and 1 as ham frequencies, and groups 2 and 3 as scanner type listen only frequencies.  I have figured out how to link 0 and 1 via the menu 203 group link, so 01 together.  But how do I go back and link 2 and 3 together?  It seems that putting in 0123 is going to link all four banks together correct?  I want to group links 0,1 and 2,3 separate.   

Can someone give me a hand?
