Well after reading about this "bug", I tried to duplicate it. Using the Orion with V2.056, I can perform the A>B and not have an offset. When I do the A>B both in split or simplex, the freq and mode from VFO A transfer. Using an external receiver, I verified that the frequency is correct. Now, if I assign TX, RX, and Sub RX to VFO A, then when I perform the A>B, the mode does not change to the value
of VFO A.  Really not an issue as I leave Sub RX on B.

My normal operation for split is to perform the A>B, then assign TX to VFO B. I guess I'm used to the
A=B on the Omni 6+.

So at least I can report that this "bug" is not in my system.

I will say this, if I leave my Orion on 60M using VFO A prior to powering down the system, when power is reapplied, the receive on VFO A and B are off frequency. I usually have to perform the A/B to correct this or simply jog the VFO knobs. I seem to remember that this occurred after loading 2.054. Best fix action
is not to leave the radio on 60M at the end of the night.

For whatever this is worth,

Good Luck.

"This can result
in having the transmit mode different then the receive mode."

Actually that statement is not correct (See previous post). It can result in the Main mode being different from the SUB mode when A>B is pressed.
