Ah yes...another customer has provided an incomplete description of
their needs, prompting the vendor to use extra resources to cover all
contingencies. Talk about classic.

The question is related to an entry made by the user that will lock in a
particular radio frequency setting. Australia and New Zealand have the
same setting in this instance. It's not a drop down option; it's a coded
command to be typed in and sent to the equipment.
This has been classic ... many of you ignored what the customer (me)
asked for and instead redefined the problem in order to provide your
solution for what you assumed the customer needed.
