FW: [DX4WIN] IC-756PRO Settings

[michael watts]

I second that emotion.

The way it operates is not logical and it drives me
nuts.  It is typical to operate split with the B VFO
Active so you can spot the successful pileup
participants.  So it is very common to click on a spot
while the B VFO is Active.

It needs to be changed so that spots always drive the
A VFO to the spotted DX frequency and drive the B VFO
to the QSX frequency, if such as has been spotted.
