You are correct, N1MM Logger is sending the MD; command before 
the FA; command.  When going from 40 to 20 meters, this changes 
the mode on 40 meters to USB then switches to 20.  In the other 
direction, the mode on 20 is changed to LSB then the K3 is 
switched to 40 meters (where it had been set to USB when leaving 
the band).  

This is a bug in N1MM Logger.
