[WT-support] Partner Mode - confusion and question

[Miguel Teixeira]

Hello,

On the last CQWW M/2 operation using CT3YA we had used for the first
time in competition the Win-Test, and we're very satisfied with the
manner it worked, without ANY problem and very efficient.
During the pre-contest and inside contest we noticed something that
can be added to Win-Test's capabilities, if there isn't already and i
don't know.
You have one radio (FT-1000MP) connected to the RUN1, and there's a
SUPPORT station for RUN1, which is RUN1+ it would be great to have the
VFO B of the radio of RUN1 on the computer of the support.

I believe this can be done.

Best regards,

Miguel - CT3IA
