No.  It and 6.74 are still flukey on band changing.  I'm also noticing no
updating as I move the vfo.  If I do manage to get tr and the radio on the
same bands, they may not be on the right modes (radio=cw; tr=ssb).

The dual frequency display is a neat feature, though.

back to 6.69

I'm using an Omni VI version Plus (version 3 upgrade) and an Omni VI.  Both
act much the same way.

I posted something here many months ago when this issue first came up (6.70,
6.71 release?) and defined each band change command and the trlog display
and radio results for a sequence of band changes from 10 through 160.  It
wasn't pretty.
