    Never mind; holding up or down just seeks the tuner to the next strong station. I don't see how to change from preset to preset using the bar controls.

    I only have 1 station even remotely worth listening to IF I use the radio at all. This is worth some experimentation.

    You have two groups you can preset for FM stations, if you set the first station on group A and the other station on group B you can toggle between them by pressing the FM button.
    Still have to take your hands off the bars but you can learn to do it by feel.

    That's the last straw I'm selling this thing. Can't change pre set radio stations at the handlebars.

    I don't know if you are kidding or not.

    I didn't like reaching down for the channels either. What a screw up by Honda.
    So, I made a little circuit and can now change my preset channels from the handlebar. I put the button in the front of the control housing. It is real easy to access with my forefinger.

    If you know someone who can build a circuit from a schematic, here is mine.

    Seems like a lot of effort for a radio.
