[WT-support] Advanced SO2R mode on phone doesn't work well right now

[Mikael Larsmark]

Ok Bob,

But I hope that doesn't mean that as long as you have Caps lock assigned 
you will call on the 2nd radio. Because if that is the case I'd rather 
need to press the * key to shift mic focus. Since this would be a big 
problem typing in calls in SO2R mode during actual qsos on the 1st radio.

Can't this just be triggered if wanted with the TR2 macro? I mean after 
you have sent F4 you just add TR2 and focus will be on radio 2?
