[wsjt-devel] Changing bands when Split operation = Rig: a suggestion

2018-11-27 Thread Paul Kube
I use Split operation = Rig with my Icom radios, which puts the radio in SPLIT mode, in which VFO A is the receive VFO, and VFO B is the transmit VFO. Now, when changing bands, WSJT-X only changes the frequency of VFO A, leaving VFO B on the preious band, until a WSJT-X initiated transmission
