Can you at least open the Radio-2 bandmap (with the windows menu) ?

The "*" allows you swap radios (you can also use the Alt-/ or Alt-: 
combination). Once the "secondary radio" is choosen, you should be able 
to change its band or frequency (type it and Enter). Of course, you 
should also be able to use the secondary radio window and use shift+Keys.

Google is your friend...

If I want to search "cluster" in the support mailing-list archives, I 
enter :

"wt cluster site:f5mzn.org"  (without the quotes)

in the search field of Google. And guess what ? It works !

BTW, the "wt" term restricts the serch to the support list.
