[WT-support] Band map and silent entry

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Clive,

I am not sure if I completely understand your request, but in the Band Map
Properties dialog, there are Search and Pounce options that let you populate
the band map "silently" by simply by entering a callsign and turning the
main tuning knob on the radio.  Check the "Populate the band map" option.
Then you do not have to press Ctrl+Enter.  The frequency change threshold is
also configurable (default = 300 Hz).

See http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Windows#Band_Map_properties and read
the note at the bottom.

73,
Bob, N6TV
