The damned thing does get ornery at times
if I tune to the BC band or 600 meters it wants to go back there
when I band change from 80 to 160,, my quick fix is to switch to am mode
which allows for fast frequency change and
tune the frequency up to 1.8 mhz and then it is happy again
for me that is quicker than direct frequence enter but either works

looks  like band change is just that,, not so much a ham band change as a
frequency renge

I use the Freq Ent button and key in the frequency that I want to change bands. 
It seems easier to me most of the time and it is certainly easier when you get
the bands in memory messed up.

If using CAT control, play Cat-and-Mouse...left- or right-click in your
desired frequency. This is much faster than pushing small switch
nubbins. Software is sooo nice!

Aloha everyone:
 Thanks for all the help, I think I have the problem under control now.

Real bad week,  got robbed, lost over 500 dollars and eqpt, chased her for almost two blocks...at seventy five I am too old...had a small stroke from over exerting myself.

a/c crashed, but I was able to fix that

Bilge pump went out...still have to get to that

Outboard engine on my dinghy died

Oh, well, I am afraid to smile as things just might get worse.

Thanks everyone for the help.
