Nate, if all you need is to be able to return to the ham band, not to
your previous frequency in there, you can use the M1-M4 keys. That is,
change band as you do now with M->V [0..9] and then do M->V [M1..M4]. 
M1-M4 are remembered per band, so I put a CW freq (usually the lower
band edge) in M1, the beginning of SSB band in M2, PSK31 in M3 and RTTY
in M4. They also change mode for me in the proper way.
