Setting up broadcast fm

[Thomas]

I have an Icom ic-705. I'm trying to set the mode to WBFM, frequency to 88.1 mhz (as hz), and the vfo to B in this order (python):
vfo (this works)
mode (self.rig.set_mode(self.state.vfo, Hamlib.RIG_MODE_AM)) but this sets the mode to CW. Why doesn't this work?

thanks,

It's probably band memory doing it.Try this to set it directly without doing vfo changes...
self.rig.set_mode(RIG_VFO_B, Hamlib.RIG_MODE_AM)

I found that if I set the VFO and then set the mode up front it works. Previously I was setting the VFO and then some other items BEFORE setting the mode. So the order seems to matter.
