No change (the K2500 interprets this as 
QA bank 0, entry 6. There is no QA bank 
0. The lowest valid PCH value in this par-
ticular case is 10, which would select QA 
bank 1, entry 0)

Remember that in the Zeros memory bank, the Quick Access bank IDs go through 75. So if the 
Zeros memory bank is the current memory bank, you can enter MC 32 values as high as 7, and 
PCH values as high as 107 for the first program Change command. And you can enter PCH 
values as high as 59 for the second program change command.
