Easy.

If this device can fire a keyboard event for each action (up or down), 
just hook scripts like these to those keys :

wtRadio:SetFreq(wtRadio:GetFreq() + step); -- Up

or

wtRadio:SetFreq(wtRadio:GetFreq() - step); -- Down

That should do it. (Not tested).

But I'm afraid you will be limited by the speed of the CAT interpreter 
of the radio. You can also check the CAT commands set of your radio : 
Some of them allow direct Tune up or down commands.
