[TenTec] O-II Bug?

[Kamal Sirageldin]

I've been playing around with a new O-II that just arrived and has V2.039d
firmware in it, and have noticed the following rather annoying 'bug.'  I'm
wondering if anyone else has noticed it: 
 
Set both VFO's to a particular frequency (i.e. a DX station working split.)
Subreceiver is turned on.  Then press the TX button to transmit on VFO B.
Tune VFO B to the QSX frequency.  Use your logging software to command the
O-II to split the audio (main receiver in left ear / subreceiver in right
ear - (this is done with the Alt-F12 command in N1MM, probably a different
command with other logging software.)  I do this to listen to the split
pileup on a DX station simultaneously while the DX station is transmitting.
 
Now, toggle the 'split audio' command (i.e. Alt-F12 in N1MM - to back to
main receiver in both ears).  The O-II display will stop 'updating' from
that point on.    When you tune VFO's, the frequency will change, and your
logging software will show the changed frequencies, but the O-II display
will not show any changes at all for VFO frequency or any other
function/setting.  It is frozen.
 
The display can be brought back to 'life' by pressing the 'Menu' button and
then back again.  From that point on, it will update/display properly until
doing the 'split' procedure mentioned above.
 
It does not seem to matter what order you press buttons to go into 'split'
mode; it seems that it mostly has to do with the O-II not being happy when
given the 'split audio' software command while it is in split VFO mode (i.e.
TX on VFO B and RCV on VFO A.)  If you are not in split VFO mode, toggling
the split audio software command does not seem to cause any issue.
 
I have an Orion and this 'bug' does not happen with it;  only happens with
the O-II.
