Hi,
The problem that I can see cropping up is that on some rigs you can not change 
the frequency of the Sub VFO until it becomes the Main VFO when the rig status 
changes to TX.
You (WSJT-X) might be able to use a workaround by issuing a swap VFO command 
change the TX frequency (if needed) on the new Main VFO and then issue another 
swap VFO command. 
At this point you can start the TX process and let rig then takes care of the 
correct VFO swap. Mike will not need any convoluted code to track which is the 
Main VFO or Sub VFO.
Just my two cents on this problem.

Mike,

to deal with that sort of behaviour either all rigs must do the same 
thing or WSJT-X will have to determine the rig and decide if the current 
VFO changes (as reported by Hamlib) when transmitting split on a rig by 
rig basis. Given that a number of rigs cannot be queried for the current 
VFO I would think that the best option for Hamlib is not to change the 
current VFO when transmitting split.
