Since your listening and counting I 'm voting. I had exactly the experience Bob had. Couldn't transmit, then when I thought I had it all figured out (4 tries later) in my haste I transmitted on the DX frequency :-( (mea culpa). I believe there would be no problem if the sub RX is installed but under my current  cx's it is very cumbersome. On the other hand I see Wayne's point IF the sub RX is available. My vote make it an op option.

The changes came about as a result of careful deliberation based on input from customers, followed by field testing and evaluation of that feedback. We're listening!

Suppose you're using SPLIT, listening to a weak DX station on the main RX (in a very narrow bandwidth with preamp on), while tuning for a clear spot with the sub RX (using a wider bandwidth and preamp off). With one tap of A>B you can move VFO B back to the starting point and work your way up again. If this also copied VFO A's filter and preamp settings (etc.) to VFO B, you'd have to set them up all over again. But I'll be happy to sit back and listen to arguments pro and con. If it looks like a lot of operators would prefer to copy everything with one tap, I could add a menu entry. If no one argues in favor of two-tap (including the field testers), I could change it outright. I'm easy :) Thanks for your input.
