I *totally* agree Leigh!  My brain gets mixed up between the two and 
this started to frustrate me so much that I have stopped using the 
memories.  I had set up to use band switching this way and for channel 
hopping on 60m but I kept overwriting them.  Please can we have a more 
robust way of protecting the memories?
