[WriteLog] FT-990 Rig Control

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The question is how Writelog does the mousewheel tuning vs. 
any other program.  The FT-990 command set has only one 
"step operating frequency" option (Up or Down).  The step 
size is set by the "fast" switch (10 Hz for slow, 100 Hz 
for fast).  

If WriteLog is using the "Step operating frequency" command 
those steps will be fixed based on the "Fast" switch.  On 
the other hand, DXLab does its mousewheel tuning by sending 
a specific new frequency (tune to F(new) where F(new) = 
Step + F(old)).
