[WT-support] Radio 1 Window in WT4.5.0

[AC0W]

I've seen this when the software gets a bad frequency from the rig 
(FT1000D), typically due to RF. The problem seems to occur mainly on 20 
meters for me. Presently using MK2R but had this in the past with RS232 
interface available for Yaesu equipment. Seems to self correct when RF 
goes away and software gets a good frequency read. Ferrite chocks help 
but have not totally eliminate yet.
