Yes the 2nd VFO is on the correct band.

Yaesu complicate things a bit by having band change commands as well as
frequency set commands in their CAT protocol. The band change commands
restore the last used aerial, AGC, pre-amp and, attenuator settings for
the target band. The frequency change commands do not do that, they just
leave the settings as is.

DX Lab Suite Commander recently changed to do the right band change
command before setting a frequency, this means that once you have the
right aerial and other settings for a band they should always be
restored when you return to that band.

If you do not use Commander as an intermediary this will not happen, for
now, but this is considered a defect that will eventually be rectified.

I suspect that Commander is not quite right yet and is not using the
correct band change command on the split Tx VFO. Does the problem you
are seeing still occur if the split Tx VFO is already on the right band?
