I kind of liked this idea. It was simple to grasp after a few minutes of 
taking the time to understand it.

As someone else pointed out yesterday, there are good reasons for 
bandwidth and/or pbt and even mode NOT to automatically transfer, and 
for a VFO to be just a VFO as it was originally conceived.

Now I suppose that once all the cooks have added their bit of sasoning to 
the soup I'm going to have to relearn how to use the radio, since it will be 
THEIR radio and not MINE, unless all of this is menu selectable as 
options.  I suspect that not everyone buys into the traditionalist view of 
what switching VFOs ... uh .. receivers ... uh .. VFOs?  what?   I'm 
confused just thinking about it. :-)

(It was good the way it was)
