Bob, I just spent 15 minutes changing RX1 on VFO A, and RX2 on VFO B, and watching HRD, the SteppIR, and Expert amp. The antenna and amp always follow whichever VFO has the TX focus (that is, whichever has the TX light lit next to the VFO.) HRD always shows the correct VFO A and VFO B. If I synch, either by using the VFO Synch button between the VFO's, or by pushing the Synch button on the ESC radar box, everything goes to the VFO A frequency. If the green VFO Synch button is lit, anytime I move either VFO, both VFO's move together (as does the ant and amp). If I unSynch by pressing this button, then the ant and amp follow whichever VFO has the "TX focus", and HRD displays the correct VFO A abd B frequencies. In short, everything regarding VFO's is working FB. (I've even tried dabbling in Triplex Receive, but I get dizzy and fall out of my chair.) I'm using HRD Logbook 5 build 2893, MiniDeluxe instead of HRD, DDUtil 2.0.2.29, and PSDR 2.2.3. The only DDUtil option that I can see that may be in play is "Amo Follows" on the Other tab, and I have selected Both. Steve Nance may be able to reveal any other DDUtil options that are coming into play, but I sure don't see them.

Not sure why yours differs. I know of three other people who experience the same problem. It's not a big deal, as long as you know what causes it. When A is sync'd to B, and HRD send the command to change, it occurs for a split second and immediately reverts back to the original freq / band. I think VFO "B" is effectively saying, "hey, you can't change - we are sync'd up" All I know is when I disable the Sync feature it works fine.

It has to, or I lose the synchronicty with my SteppIR and SPE Expert amp. (And if I lose synchronicity, bad things happen when I push the PTT. Lights, beeps, alarms.) I wonder if there is something else going on? Some option, when left unset, that disturbs the harmony?
