I am just now testing this with my radios and this happens 
always.

Here it goes:

I have Ez-Master, Win-Test 2.30.1 and Radio 1: Yaesu 
FT1000MP MKv and Radio 2: Yaesu FT1000MP. Both routed via 
EZ-Master CAT-ports. Ez-master connected via USB-cable to 
my PC.

Radio & VFO configuration is following:
Radio 1 Vfo A 14150 USB Vfo B 14220 USB
Radio 2 Vfoa A 7010 TX LSB Vfo B 7210 LSB RX (I have green 
led is active in vfo A and red led is active in vfo B) = 
SPLIT functionality

1. I have radio 1 as an active radio.
2. When I hit *-key to switch to radio 2 A and B vfos are 
swapped so that my VFO A is 7210 and VFO B is 7010.
3. I hit *-key again and focus goes to Radio 1 again.
4. I hit *-key again to get focus on radio 2 and again 
radio 2 vfos are swapped back to orginal

So every time when I switch to radio 2 with *-key vfos are 
swapped.

I made also following observation: When disabled split on 
my radio 2 (I had RX and TX focus on VFO A) VFO's are not 
swapped when hitting *-key. So this incorrect VFO swapping 
happens always when I have split enabled on my radio 2.

Yes it works OK if I have latch mode enabled.

This would be nice feature.
