Thank you for making the application work so well. I enjoy using it daily.

I would like to offer a suggestion to the band buttons / working frequencies. I use the band buttons when working stations one at a time on the same band. When chasing Expeditions I use the drop down down list of working frequencies where I have added their working frequencies. That list of working frequencies gets longer each time there is a new Dxpedition.

Upon starting JTDX v2.2.159 Improved and selecting the 15m band button, 15m is displayed in the the frequencies list, and if one opens the drop down box focus is on the default (*21.074) frequency as expected. One can freely move between the 15 meter saved frequencies as expected.

Closing the application and then opening it again, a band button and frequency focus behaves the same.

The issue I've seen which is repeatable is:
After the first use of the band button and selecting any other band button, the associated band is now displayed in the frequency drop down list as expected. However, one should expect focus to be on the selected band buttons default frequency. It is not. As an example use 60m / 5.357. What is in focus is 60m, and one should expect the default frequency 5.357 to be highlighted, what is in focus and highlighted is *21.074. If one wants to move from the default frequency in that band, one must search thru a complete sorted list of working frequencies. Selecting any other band button results in the same issue until the application is closed and reopened.

My suggestion is to have focus automatically selected on the default frequency, from the list of working frequencies each time. Then one has a sorted list of band working frequencies to work within. This change would enable searching for additional band frequencies to be accomplished quickly and intuitively.

Thank you for reading my suggestion.
