probably because it is set to default to vfo when it loses power...I would 
google the problem and see if it's a memory battery issue, or if it's easily 
remedied with a menu setting.
the 1802 was and is a popular mobile, so I'm sure someone else has had the 
issue and figured out the fix.
For now just don't turn the power supply off...in fact there is no reason to 
do so really.
Kind of like unplugging your stove or TV when not using it.
