I suppose that explains why the OEM software shows channels up to 128 but all 3-digit channel slots are greyed out.

Yes, you are correct. I'll submit a fix today. too much eggnog i guess lol
interestingly it seems there is provision in the memory to support 128 channels. in fact i extended the memory and names arrays, then populated a few >100 channels and set the new mem ch A/B to one of these and it works just fine it will also increment downwards -- its not until you increment upwards or roll over the normal memory bounds of 1 - 99 where it locks you within this boundary. There is no other way of selecting >100. So its not really useable...
Perhaps it was due to only having 2 digits on the channel indicator? the could have always gone hexidecimal on the leading digit to go into hundreds, but for whatever reason they decided to throwaway 20% of the memory capacity -- what a shame!

Jens,
When Mem Chan (A)/(B) is set to 0 is the display will be in VFO mode regardless of the Radio Work Mode(A)/(B) setting. The user will be unable to switch the display to Channel mode.

Jens,
Shouldn't the ranges for these work channel numbers be from 1 to 99? The UV-B5 has no channel 0.
