The CW in SSB feature makes cross mode QSOs no different than 
a SSB QSO.  It is no problem to narrow the filters in SSB if 
necessary - even to the point of using a 500 Hz 1st IF filter 
as long as it is enabled in SSB.  

If a user insists on setting VFO B to a different mode, "B Set, 
Mode, B Set" is certainly adequate to "undo" any mode change 
caused by A -> B.
