[Trlog] How to use 2 vfos?

[Ron Rossi]

Bob,

One way I have used the A/B VFO is similar to what Ken describes. When 
using one radio rather than run on the A VFO I run on the B VFO. When 
bandmap data gets loaded to the radio it get loaded into VFO A. So while 
you are S&Ping (using the A VFO) and notice a station you might like to 
work type in the call and hit the space bar. This loads the station into 
the bandmap. When you find your run frequency and start running hit A=B 
and swap to the B VFO. Now you can easily load stuff in the A VFO to 
work when you get a chance.

As an aside remember that you can program the frequency for either VFO 
directly from the call window in TRLog. Normally just entering a freq 
changes the A VFO. Adding a "B" to the end with no spaces will change 
the B VFO freq. When you get a second radio another feature is useful 
whene using ctrl-enter will load the freq into the second radio instead.
