The real problem is not the independence, but the fact there is no practical 
way to change the sub receiver preamp without resetting VFO B to whatever is 
in VFO A.

That totally ruins the ability to quickly throw a pad in on the second 
receiver during contacts when using split. or when retaining a frequency in 
VFO B.

It is a terrible system when, just to change a preamp or pad, the operator 
is forced to accept unwanted changes to different settings.
