Ctrl-Shift-Up Arrow and Ctrl-Shift-Down are already used by Win-Test to move
up and down in the band map (including jumping to dupes, which isn't very
useful).  I agree that it would be better to use them for moving spots to
VFO B, because using Alt-Double-click is awkward.

I've written a simple LUA script (attached) that will Swap VFOs A/B on a K3,
then copy the callsign from bandmap into the logging window.  Consider
assigning it to F9.  In case the attachment doesn't come through, here is
the essential part:

-- Call the K3 SwapVFO script
wtApp:CallScript("SwapVFO")

-- Sleep for 200 ms to allow the K3 to complete the operation
wtApp:Sleep(200)

-- Send Ctrl-Space to grab the spot closest to the current VFO A frequency
wtApp:SendKey(" ", WT_KEY_CTRL)

-- No further keystroke processing
return -1


You must first install the K3scripts.zip to get the K3 version of
SwapVFO.wts installed (or FT1000scripts.zip or FT2000scripts.zip).  Download
these from http://bit.ly/wtscripts, then follow the instructions in the
Readme file.

I am not in front of a radio to test it, but it should work.  I am not sure
if the 200 ms delay should be increased or decreased, so you may have to
play with that number.
