Following on from Ian's G3SEK comments, I have just tried to set up
something similar which I would have thought was very simple within WL given
the more complex facilities it will handle, eg Dual RX, SO2R, 2nd VFO Band
Maps, but it wouldn't work. What I want to do for SSB and CW is:
1 - Using one computer with Radio - Number of Radios - 2, VFO A as Radio
Left and VFO B as Radio Right. Followed Ian's guidance but it didn't work.
Band Map on VFO B works but the Log Entry window does not show and therefore
follow VFO B frequency. So :
a - Am I doing something wrong, ie haven't set it up correctly?
b - Is there a bug preventing this?
c - Is it just not feasible? I really can't believe this as it all seems so
simple.
2 - Using 2 networked computers, as above with VFO A on computer 1 and VFO B
on computer 2. I haven't tried this yet but ought to be feasible.
My radio is an FT1000MP and I am using the latest version of WL

Subject: [WriteLog] SO1.5R
I'm exploring the possibilities for running dual selectable receive and
transmit on the FT-1000MP... a kind of "SO1.5R" or "SO2R lite".
Following the SO2R instructions on K9JY's site and the Dual Receive
instructions on AA5AU's site, I now have VFOs A and B configured as "Radio
Left" and "Radio Right". That gives me dual receive, and the option to
transmit on either VFO.
I also followed the instructions to run two sound cards for RTTY. If I click
on a callsign in either RTTYwrite window, the call is dropped into the
correct keyboard input line, the programmed messages reply to that callsign,
and that line has the focus for further QSO input.
That's excellent - it isn't quite SO2R, but it does everything you could ask
of a dual-VFO rig on a single band... well almost.
The only problem is, the VFO for TX still has to be selected manually from
the rig. I just *know* I'm going to forget that, and reply on the wrong
frequency!
Is there any way to make the MP's TX VFO selection follow WriteLog's L-R
switching automatically in a setup like this?
A possibly related question might be: what *is* the "Second VFO support for
FT-1000" that was added in v10.45? It's mentioned in the update history, but
nowhere else (that I could find).
