Programming Radioddity QT40

[CAvoyager1960]

I got a Radioddity QT40 a while back (10 meter mobile that can also do 11 meter) Did the mod (jumper) and downloaded the programming software (radio came with the special USB cable) I got a bit confused on how use the software... made some changes and clicked on "save" (I thought that meant save to radio) Realized my mistake and tried again (read from radio, make changes, write to radio) I was frustrated and in a hurry (never a good thing LOL) Somehow I ended up with 11 meter (CB) on band E-High. Every video I've watched they show it on D band. Not sure if this matters (and it works fine this way) Also, I'm studying for my technician license so will want to use 10 meter soon (basically 28.300-28.500 Mhz) Should I reset the radio to default and start over or just leave be as is? BTW, my antenna is A-99 and can be tuned to 10 meter (hoping to do DX on SSB)

On some radios you can rename the bands in the menu to what you want, letter wise.

This is a "channelized" radio. I understand but at this point I am going to start over. I'm considering doing a reset using the mic and radio controls, then programming with a PC. Thank you because I did do something wonky.

It going to be a challenge to work 10 meter contacts on this type of radio.

You really need a radio with a VFO that can be tuned to any frequency from 28.300 to 28.500 MHz. The Stations you wish to make contact with won't be on all be on even frequencies spaced 10 kHz apart like 28.435.

Then stations will more on frequencies like 28.433.5.

Most radios that have the export mod can be put into VFO mode, like i have on my President George 2.
