[Dx4win] Packet Window Rig Control of FT1000MP

[Duane A Calvin]

On Ten-Tec and ICOM radios, it switches the frequency on the currently
assigned register.  With my Omni VI+ and now with my Orion, I often move
to the band/range (BSR) where the spot is going to point me and then
click the spot.  That way I don't screw up the other 3 registers for that
band.  Other times I'm in a hurry and just go back and fix it later if it
steps on one of my preferred settings.

        73,  Duane
