The Ele-guys nicely added the option to stay in SPLIT automatically for
those of us who grumbled incessantly, but you don't have to live with
it.
On your Secondary Menu, change SPLIT to "nor".
The documentation fails to note that "nor" mode not only causes your
"Split" choices to apply to ALL bands, but also defaults to no Split on
power up.
Split used to default to "OFF" upon power up regardless.
That was a pain for those of us who run ONLY "split" mode, since we'd
fiddle with the receive tuning during a QSO only to discover that we
"lost" the station because we moved the Tx frequency.
By selecting SPLIT "per" it remembers the choices for EACH band AND
remembers those settings upon power-up.
I run SPLIT at all times, and routinely punch A=B to put my transmitter
on the receive frequency just before initiating a call, then I can use
the main tuning knob for adjusting my receive frequency during a QSO and
forget about the RIT/XIT functions (and ignore that tiny little knob).

I tapped yesterday evening in a bad situation. I changed from 40m to
80m. On 40m Split was enabled and I forgot to switch it off, so my
transmission was on the last used split QRG. Would it be not better if
the software switch off split mode if one change to another band? I
dont see a advantage to let split enabled if I switch to another band.
