Radio Reverts to Previous Frequency After a Few Seconds

I was working a few stations on six meter FT8. I then changed bands to twenty meters. After a few seconds the radio switched back to my six meter frequency without any intervention from me. Why is this happening?

    You don't mention which radio or FT8 software you have, but assuming a Flex 6000 or 8000 series running WSJT-X, my guess is that the FT8 program (or perhaps some other program) is making the change on your behalf. Check your options to see what might be happening.

    I am using a Flex 8600 and running WSJT-X along with Slice-Master. I believe Slice-Master is causing the issue, but I am not sure what to change.

    I haven't seen SliceMaster do that, but Don, K1DBO would know for sure. He is pretty responsive to questions.

    This sounds an awful lot like an issue that happens if you haven't done the full cold boot reset that is recommended in the release notes. Let us know if it continues to happen after a reboot.
