A separate bandmap on VFO B is only useful if your rig allows split onto 
a different band. When operating 2VFO in-band, everything needs to go 
into the same bandmap.

(Many thanks to whoever recommended programming a spare message key to 
%B%W, which "posts" a callsign into the bandmap and clears the entry 
line. It's perfect for entering other people's run frequencies into the 
bandmap while S&Ping.)

It works fine here with a 1000MPmk1. The minor disadvantage is that the 
frequency logged is always the frequency of VFO A, but that doesn't 
matter for in-band 2VFO.

The major disadvantage is that the TX selection (at least on the MP) 
doesn't automatically follow the Radio 1/2 (L/R) selection in WL. You 
have to remember to swap both WL and the rig - and if you forget, then 
you're really "split"!

Aside from those known problems, I just *might* have figured out how to 
make SO2V work for RTTY, with RX and FSK on both VFOs.

CU on 40m in the Volta test, and we'll find out! (If I don't come back 
to your call, try sending PRESS RED BUTTON DUMMY :-)

So it's no e-mail here for the next 24+ hours. After the contest, I'll 
report back on what worked... or didn't.
