Brendon, Sorry but no cigar. This inserted into my Radios.ini file (in place of the TS-2000 portion) only causes the TS-2000 to blink at me when clicking on a spot. No frequency change, no mode change on either VFO. Back to the drawing board. I do have a version of the Radios.ini file that I am now testing and so far it is working fine (hope it keeps it up)
