I went a step further and put a piece of white 1/4 inch masking tape
over the V>M key. Not pretty but it works for me. It is just enough to
catch your eye and of course when you really need it, it can still be
depressed. I do have an "advantage" in that with poor eyesight it is not
easy to read and mix up the keys!
My band memories are set similar to yours Doug. I have my most used
frequency in VFO-A and my second most used frequency in VFO-B. I operate
mainly SSB but monitor the other modes. I have not used the band up/down
for 3 months.

When I was first loading all the memories (I mean band switch), I too

But once they were loaded, I "found" an easy way to NOT overwrite what
I had entered. Instead of READING what the buttons say and figuring
out what that means (apparently a stumbling block for me), I just
always go to the one in the top, right-hand corner first. It's easy
to do...a "no brainer" - and I qualify! Do things by rote...take the
"thought" out of the loop and you'll be fine.
Since then, I have NEVER accidentally overwritten an existing
(programmed) memory. Top right-hand corner is a great location!
Try this simple approach. It works for me!
