I do not see any change in the VFO Frequency when I try to change mode
while split in Digital modes.

The "Split n/a" only happens when you try to change to or from digital
mode.  If I'm split with both VFOs CW and try to change VFO A to SSB,
it works just fine.   Similarly, if I'm split in SSB and change one
VFO to CW it works just fine.

The only "problem" is changing to SSB/Digital or CW/Digital which is
not allowed.  If one VFO is digital and the other is CW or SSB, you
can't change the split status ... you will see "Split n/a."
