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.
