Greetings, just bought the T-50 - awesome - and fixed a few issues by 1) reading the manuals and 2) reading the thread on how to fix most problems. Here is one I haven't seen mentioned, so it could turn out to be a stupid question: my LFR receiver tunes between 500 and 700 kc only, is there any way to tune to the lower frequency band?
Also, my radios are not tunable due to missing or tiny tool tips - but that is no biggy for me since I don't plan on using the radios much anyway. Cheers.

Yes. The low band/high band switch is the rearmost knob on the pilots's radio console. It defaults to 'high band' but may easily be switched:

Lo-band = 200 to 400 KHz
Hi-band = 500 to 700 KHz

HINT: to make tuning easier, hover over the dial/frame of the frequency dial. Although the little crank handle will work, it's harder to use!

ah, brilliant! thanks N4, I thought I had tried that but obviously not. I was literally asleep at the switch. Now I can navigate across Canada, I'm really enjoying this feature.
