[TenTec] V2.055 bug /watch out on 60 meters! AlsoeffectsO2v2.032!

[Larry Menzel]

I don't understand, Bob, when I push A>B on my O2 and O1 (1.372b5) band and 
mode are transferred perfectly.

I believe what the original poster said was that when he manually changed 
the vfo b mode, the FREQUENCY was 1.5 kc off.

Is this not what should be expected?

Larry, N0XB
