Ed,
        I just went through this last week.  It is a known problem and is on 
Wayne's things-to-do list.  What ever you do, don't press the SPLT button to 
go into split  mode when you have the condition you described because if you 
do, you will screw up the band sequence when you step through the bands.  At 
one point I had 3 80m bands and no 60m and 40m when I cycled through the 
bands.  Until Wayne gets it fixed, be careful to not have different bands in 
VFO A and B.
