Consider the following scenario:
Single-op, 2 radios. Only Radio1 is interfaced to CT via the COM port
(Radio2 is a TS830, for example). The operator wants to work and log
something on radio 2.
1. Does s/he type ALT-. to switch radios?
2. For Radio 2, do ALT-F1/F2 change bands properly?
I can't see any other way to properly log 2nd radio QSOs in this scenario
unless both #1 and #2 above are true.
So I guess the real question is, does ANYONE really do this? If not, then
I can see it being safe to disable ALT-. when there is no 2nd radio.
