Agree, but it is still not fixed properly.

1. The band data output on LPT is still changing for every incoming spot.
This is a very dangerous situation as it can happen that your antenna switch
changes band while you transmit.

2. Pressing F9 causes the band data output to momentarily flip back to the
default band! Just as dangerous. This has already killed one antenna switch
for me.

Please get this fixed as soon as possible.
