[TenTec] Omni VI filter macros, etc. for MixW v2.0x

[George, W5YR]

Well John, thank Heaven we learn something new every day. Carl N4PY also
mentioned that the Ten Tec's use the same command set as the IC-735.

One difference that might or might not be important in macro development is
that the IC-735 unlike all other Icoms uses a four-byte format instead of
five bytes in the exchange of some data with the computer. I know that this
applies to frequency data, but I do not know if it applies to other types as
well.

George had posted a similar macro for his 756 Pro, I just copied the idea
and made it work for the Omni VI.

For those of you who are running software that doesn't support the Ten-Tec
Omni VI (like MixW) choose 'Icom 735' and you will be okay.

The Ten-Tec Omni command set is a superset of that of the IC-735.  I don't
believe you can control xmit/rcv via software for the IC-735, for instance.
There are other commands (some mentioned in the Ten-Tec Omni VI manual, some
not... like how to select the narrow filter) available for the
intellectually curious.
