I would be very confused by your change, but do see what you mean.

I looked at my drake R7 and see that the "BAND" switch on it doesn't have any
band labels on it; Only frequency ranges.  It seems that Drake shared your
thoughts there, but Drake radios were made for any frequency between .5Mhz and
30Mhz, so their labeling on their radios seems appropriate to me.
