Win-Test follows the Yaesu standard, as documented
here<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Interfaces#Band_Data>.
The Yaesu standard also defines 144 and 440, as shown
here<http://k0lee.com/ft100faq.html#banddata>,
but that may not be sufficient for your needs, and it's possible that
Win-Test doesn't support those bands (please measure the LPT pins with a
voltmeter and let us know what you discover).

If you use a microHAM box, you can have it activate up to 16 individual ACC
port pins, one for each band from 160m to 1296 MHz.  That might be a better
approach for serious VHF all band contesting with automatic switching.
Select Options | MK/MKII/MK2R/u2R
Configuration<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Options#MK.2FMKII.2FMK2R.2Fu2R_configuration...>and
scroll down to the bottom.
