[WT-support] Script for getting next call in Bandmap

[Oliver Grossmann]

Hi Bob,
thanks for reply, so i understand more and more the API.
Maybe there will be some improvement for the wtRadio:Send() command in 
the future, it would support better homemade equipment and future rigs.

For the InactiveVfo feature, this would help if you are working on the 
2nd VFO and you want to switch 1st VFO to next spot, but this isn't so 
important.
But if the command isn't working like the name says, it should be 
removed from the API or should be fixed. It would help for implementing 
some Radio features.

I will check this with my K3 after the CQWW next weekend.

Thanks for all
Olli
