[WT-support] WT4 & FT-5000 VFO selection

Hi

I am just setting my station up for this weekend's RSGB Commonwealth
Contest.

I am using WT4 version 4.7.0, communicating with my FT5k via a micro KEYER
II.

If the FT5k is not in SPLIT mode, the band indication in WT4 is the band for
the live VFO - that's OK.
However, in SPLIT mode, it does the following:

If I am running on VFO-B, ie both VFO-B RX & TX and TX lamps illuminated on
the 5k, and also have the VFO-A Rx enabled, the band info is again from
VFO-B, which is OK.
However, if I am running on VFO-A, and the VFO-B Rx is also enabled, WT4
takes the band info from VFO-B, which is NOT OK.

If I want to operate SO2V, running on VFO-A and also listening (on another
band) on VFO-B, I will get my QSOs logged on the wrong band. I would expect
WT to take the band info from the VFO that is TXing. Why doesn't it? Is
there a setting I can change to fix this?

Thanks.
