[Elecraft] Prioritizing CAT control?

[Ken Arck]

Hi Don

What I mean is that I've been using an external DEMI transverter set 
up as Trn 8 for some time now. for 2 meter EME work. I added the 
internal K144XV over the weekend and set it up as Int Trn 1 but still 
want to be able to use the DEMI. No problem as I can select each 
properly by the BAND button but if I try to set a 2 meter freq by 
CAT, no matter what band the radio is currently on, it selects Trn 1 
and not Trn 8 as it did before.

I don't use the ADR info at all, at least not externally
