[Elecraft] Mode not Switching with band change?

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The Band buttons in DXLab Suite/Commander's Bandspread window are each a
band stack.  They store the last five frequencies visited on each band.
If the last frequency/mode on 40 meters was USB, that is what will be
recalled.  If the last frequency on 40 meters was CW, that will be
recalled. You can step through the five frequencies by repeated clicks
on the band button.

Note:  the frequency/mode is saved in the band stack *after* the dwell
time has expired.  If your dwell time is 30 seconds but you bounce
around every 5 seconds, the band stack will not be updated

See the Help file for Commander (click the Help button in Commander's
Bandspread window and select "actions in the Bandspread window").

73,
