BCD out with V2.5.1 on 30m

edited June 2019 in FLEX-6000 Signature Series
I have upgraded to V 2.5.1 and have noticed that when I select the 30m band in SmartSDR  that my Yaesu VL1000 does not change bands, it stays on whatever band was last selected.
I have a Flex USB -BCD unit and it works fine changing the VL1000 on 160m 80m 40m 20m 15m 10m & 6m.
Is anyone else seeing my problem?

Cheers

    An update to my problem.
    I just loaded a new install of SmartSDR V2.5.1 on my laptop and connected to my 6400 over Smartlink and it all works fine!!!!
    The band switching on 30m between the rig and my VL1000 is working as it should.
    So it looks a though I have some problem with how V2.5.1 loaded on my Desktop PC.
    Now the fun begins

    Update No 2

    I have now worked out that it is all operator error. (Feeling a bit like a Goose)
    I have a habit of checking out WWV on 10Mhz so the 30m band was on 10Mhz and that is out of our transmit allocation, as soon as I selected 10.126Mhz on the 30m band all back to normal.
    Wouldn't it be nice if the band select icons had multiple memory's 3 or 4 step through frequency's .
    like on my Icom 7610

    Cheers
