[Dx4win] support for the new Kenwood TS-990

[Paul van der Eijk]

This radio 'stuff' is easy to try; especially when you have the
radio connected to your computer.

The .rig file is a fairly simple text file that is interpreted by the DX4WIN
program. Look at the rig file for the Yaesu ft-1000D; there we set the
A VFO (mode, frequency split etc) Copy from A to B, and repeat for
the A VFO again. The program  'likes' this sequence when the
 A->B command is available because it is so simple!
