Martin, I haven't been using the USER feature much, but if my
understanding of them is correct, they should take care of your problem
regarding settings for the different modes. On the other hand, I agree
that the there should be some kind of visible indication of which BS
register you're in at a specific time. Maybe labels input by the user?

I find the band stacking registers frustrating. Why? For my taste:
1. There should be an on-screen indication of which BS reg you have
selected.
2. It should be possible to set and lock the info in the BS regs.
For each band, I would like to be able to switch between a typical CW
setting (freq, mode & filters), a typical PSK setting, and a typical
SSB setting, etc. (Actually, I would like the AGC settings, freq step
settings, etc, to be included in the mode setup / BS regs.)
This can kinda be done now, but without locking & displaying the
register setting, my setups get mixed up pretty quickly.
Switching between my normal CW, PSK, and SSB settings now is
frustrating, because there is too much button-pushing and thinking
required.
I bet this is not a big change to the firmware, if TT chooses to
implement.

Maybe this will help some (I hope!):
Push the '80' mtr button,
Enter a freq, such as 3.505; set the mode, set the DSP filter,
Push the '80' mtr button again,
Ender a freq, such as 3.530, set the mode, set the DSP filter,
Push the '80' mtr button again,
Enter a freq, such as 3.875, set the mode, set the DSP filter,
Push the '80' mtr button again,
Enter a freq, such as 3.923, set the mode, set the DSP filter,
Push the '80' mtr button again, but this time the freq, mode and DSP
filter
settings will recall the 3.505 information you previously stored. Now
each
time you push the '80' mtr button it will recall each of the freq, it
turn,
that you had set.
However, lets say you had recalled the 3.530 freq information and you
randomly tune around and stop on, say 3.545, and then decide to go to 20
mtrs, when you finish on 20m and go back to 80mtrs, the rig will
return to
the frequency it was at when you QSY'ed to 20 mtrs. In other words, the
band stacking memories are active and will not keep the four
freq/mode/filter settings permanently. When you leave a band and then
come
back to it, the settings that you had when you left that original
band is
what has been stored in the top band stack memory.
It's more complicated to write about than to actually use it.
