After 6 years of ownership just learned something new!

Its been awhile since I have visited/posted but even after 6 years of happy ownership I am still learning something new about the beast. I just learned a new feature about the M-Audio/Mk-IV radio! Where we live, we often have weak FM radio signals. The M-Audio/MkIV Nav has an option to search stations with a sensitive mode, mode II. For years I have been digging into the Select button/menu to use Mode II. I just accidentally realized if I press the search button <--> rapidly twice, it will place me in Mode II. Much easier and safer when driving. Try it!

That's a good find. I wish there was some similar short cut to go into manual tune mode.
