[WT-support] Fw: SWAP (Ctrl-S) command for SO2R

[SM6CNN]

OK Oliver,
I am using the original Orion, not the OrionII, with firmware 1.373b5 
dated Jan 18, 2005. When I issue the *AF or *BF command from my homemade 
control program the bandwith does not change. I do not find 2.5.2 on the 
server.
While we are at radio control, I am used to using the opposite sideband 
on CW i.e. LCW on the Orion. The program always selects UCW on the Orion 
and CW-USB on the FT-1000MP. Can this be made selectable in the set up?
Merci
Andy SM6CNN
