[WT-support] Swap VFO function in v4

[Oliver Grossmann]

Hi Bob,
something is going with my email client, i don't get all mails from
this threat, i have to read on web archive, strange behaviour of
gmail.

I tried the workaround you told me, should work if  I set manually the
DX-Spots Window on the Band of VFO B it should work.  But clicking on
VFO A and B just switch Split on. I don't know the desired function
but it looks like a bug, you are right again :-) .
Anyway I'm not the biggest friend of mouse operating during in a contest.

I'm still looking for better SO2V support in Win-Test. (Swap VFOs by
shortcut and 2nd Bandmap for 2nd VFO(RX)). Can someone tell me if this
feature has a future in Win-Test?
I don't have big programming skills in Windows programming, I'm used
to write code for embedded Systems in c and C++ but maybe i can
support the Win-Test team in this direction a bit.

For those of use with a 2 VFO rig we utilize the 2nd VFO in dual receive like a second radio, i.e. SO2V. So there is a need to display the band map for each VFO and have each band map have spot automatically updated just as if it is SO2R.
