[Dx4win] Packet Window Rig Control of FT1000MP

[kelly at thejohnsons.ws]

If I am using stacking register "A" right now in the Phone portion of the band
and I have the "B" stacking register loaded with something in the CW band, then why
does DX4WIN change the "B" stacking register next time I click on a spot (or at least
that's what it appears to do).  I would expect it to set the frequency of the current
stacking register, not switch to the other one and change frequency.  I guess I can
sorta understand why the software programmer may have done that, but it sure doesn't
match the way I use these registers.  If I remember correctly, WriteLog doesn't seem
to do it this way.
