I just checked my O2 - when you hit A>B or B>A, the mode does transfer,
as does the BW and PBT if they are set to track in the RX Menu

I'm using 2.032 firmware

This IS a problem Larry.  When you need to split you shouldn't need to
remember the mode you last used on the second VFO.  You just want to
split.

The solution is simple.  A>B or B>A should transfer mode as well as
frequency.  Who wants to split frequency and mode at the same time?
Nobody I know, that's for sure.  I've lost count how many times this fix
has been asked for.

I don't know why but this seems to be a concept the fellas at Ten Tec
struggle with.
