Mine seems to have a bug that I've now seen a couple of times. I think I know what happened, but it was one of those double take moments when you question yourself.
I think that the standby freq I've dialled in is getting replaced by the previous one. The first time it happened I thought the main freq had put itself into standby as both were the same, but the second time things were a bit clearer.
Before I took off I changed SB to 135.47 and left the main freq as 124.07. About 30 mins later I noticed that SB had changed to 123.00. And 123.00 was "probably" the previous SB freq.
I do have a flip-flop button on the stick and another button that allows me to scroll through memory freqs. But, it was clearly not a flip and to use the scroll feature you first have to press the MEM button on the radio.
I shall email Garmin but wondered if anyone else had seen anything like this?

EDIT: The switch on the cyclic does access the user freqs without first having to press MEM, just not the recent list.
