Ah, I doubt this would help. With you not showing up in Friedrichshafen,
you already defied my evil plans of persuading you about the urgent need
of some features with beer :)

Being on my next extremely busy (cough) shift on 10m, I had time to play some
more.
I observed that when using the TS 440 ini file, the switch
behavior was OK. But further investigation revealed that this is
due to the pmVfoAA/AB/BA/BB commands are defined wrong, so VFOA/B switching
from WinTest doesnt work at all.
Putting the correct commands (FR0;) in there and the wrong behavior is
back. Together with my observation that by just entering the frequency
in the callsign field I believe something must be different within
WinTest..

Best regards,

Mario
