In my own software I have never attempted to set the mode of the K2 based on
frequency or anything stored by the software. So I have not encountered
this. If I change band, the K2 sends back the new frequency and also the
mode it is now in, and the software records this. No conflict.

I do seem to recall that MixW, which does have the facility to set the mode
according to the frequency being entered, tends to fight with the K2's own
band/mode memory when its DXCluster window is used. Clearly the scope for
conflict exists. It would be better if the radio did not try to change the
mode after changing band if used with software that tries to do this.
Otherwise the software could probably work around this by changing the
frequency, waiting for the radio to report back the mode, and then (if
necessary) sending a mode change.
