Wayne, This is why I emphasized the KNOB, not the VFO. When you swap VFOs A and B by pressing the A/B button, the locked status follows what was originally VFO B and now becomes VFO A. What we want here is for the VFO B KNOB (i.e., the middle one) to stay locked, regardless of which VFO frequency it is controlling, because moving it changes the 700 Hz offset when VFO B is not locked. If the locked status didn't follow the frequency from VFO B to VFO A, it would work to prevent accidentally corrupting the offset. However, that is clearly not the way LOCK was designed to work.
