Reminds me of the old comedy routine -
Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Don't do it.
If I am casually tuning around, hunting DX and I want to check on two
different bands (like the current multi band/op dxpeditions), the
easiest thing for me to do is put one freq/band in one VFO and the
other freq/band in the other VFO. Hitting A/B allows me to
conveniently switch between the two. Seems fine as long as I don't
accidentally hit VFO B in the process. I don't have exceptionally
fat fingers, but I do manage to hit the wrong knobs once in a
while. I don't think that it is good behavior for this to
happen. What if you don't purchase the second receiver? Are you not
allowed to do this?

Yes, when I asked they said don't do that: specifically, don't put
VFO B on a different band from VFO A until the subreceiver comes
out. It will also switch in the bandpass filters for VFO B's band
any time you touch VFO B.

I noticed this behavior this evening and I was wondering if anyone
else could duplicate it.
I have VFO A on 6M USB and VFO B on 10M USB. When I turn the VFO
B knob, the VFO frequency changes, but the mode changes to LSB. If
I turn VFO A now, the VFO A frequency changes and the mode goes
back to USB. If I do a band down, I don't get 10M on VFO A,
instead I still see 6M, plus get a PLL error message flash by.
Does anyone else see this?
