Bugs
1

Brief summary of problem (put in title as well): Memory mode selecting by position and not by actual memory contents
Radio Model:IC-9700
Connectivity (USB/Ethernet/Wifi/Other): Any
Operating System: Windows 10 x64
wfview version (press “About”): 2.11
Checked the wfview manual (Y/N): Y
Checked the wfview FAQ (Y/N): Y
Tried to google it (Y/N/NA): N

What I did: Clicked on memory position in Group 02 (440) while MAIN band was on 144

Expected behavior: Bringing up 440 memory on MAIN band

Observed behavior: Brought up 144 memory on MAIN band in same position (NUM) as the 440 memory

This is a particular quirk of the IC9700, when you change group it should move to the correct band for that group, if you then change band manually, it will not select the correct band.

Also…

The second receiver must not be on the band that you change to as wfview will be unable to automatically switch to that band.

As the IC9700 is the only radio that works this way (band specific memory groups) this is unlikely to be fixed, as it would be rather a lot of work!
