[WT-support] Swap Radio problems

[SM6CNN]

Hello Jozef,
Thanks for your interest in this problem.
I have checked the SWAP feature with two other contest logging programs. 
  Both do it as I would expect it i.e. they swap the main VFOs frequency 
and mode every time you give the command. Win-Test does it sometimes 
correct and sometimes wrong but without pattern. I do not expect the 
command to handle SPLIT and DUAL RX, only the straight forward swap of 
the main VFOs.
