[Dxbase] Rotator control problem

I have the latest DXBase 2006. Two identical rotor control boxes (M2
RC2800PX) connected to my computer via com ports 5 and 6. Both work OK
when I control them from dumb terminal program. Exactly same
configuration in DXBase "Rotor-1" And "Rotor-2" tabs in
"Tools-Options-User Options" menu. But DXBase can control only Rotor-1.
If I switch to Rotor-2 (by pressing the corresponding button), then the
rotator, conected to port, defined in the tab for Rotor-2, does not
move. Both rotators work when they are accessed through "Rotor-1" port.
Is it a bug or I miss something?
Another question (or suggestion?). Rotors are "band dependant", i.e.
Rotor 1 always turn 20 and 15 meter beam, and Rotor 2 -- 10 and 40. It
would be nice if DXBase could turn the coorect rotor depending on the
band I am on.
