Nate,
May I suggest that you use a 'workaround' until that problem can be
resolved. Copy the quick memories into 10 other memory locations - say
memories 10 thru 19. Then if something (including punching the wrong
buttons), you can restore the quick memory locations easily.
I have my quick memories set up in a similar manner, but have not
noticed them being overwritten, but I have the copy to fall back on
should anything wipe them out.

For easy band access, I am using the quick band memories laid out such
that 1 is 160m to 0 is 6m excluding 60m. This gives an easy two tap
band change. These occupy memory locations 00 to 09.
For convenience I have entered the WWV frequencies into memory locations
90 to 94 (the 60m frequenciesoccupy 95 to 99). I found that when I
choose certain WWV memories that certain quick band memories are changed
to the WWV frequency so that the former in-band frequencies are lost.
For example. Choosing memory 90 (2.5 MHz) results in both VFO A and VFO
B frequencies being written to 2.5 MHz when I tap M>V then 1 (memory
location 01). I found the same for 30m (WWV 10 MHz, quick band memory
4) and 20m (WWV 15 MHz quick band memory 5).
If I had a choice, I would prefer that selecting a memory which has its
programmed frequency outside the amateur band limits would not overwrite
the quick band memories. In other words, in my case, selecting memory
90 would not set VFO A and VFO B to 2.5 MHz, as that is clearly beyond
the 160m band edge. 30m and 10 MHz is somewhat less obvious, but I
think 10.1 MHz is the lower limit for 30m worldwide. 15 MHz is also
well beyond the upper edge of 20m and should not rewrite that quick band
memory.
Perhaps this is a difficult firmware change, and I'll just have to live
with it. If not, I hope you can look into this, Wayne.
