No, you've misunderstood the difference between FR/FT and FA/FB. FR/FT
tell the radio which VFO to use for receive/transmit; they don't change
the frequency. FA/FB set the frequency for VFO A/B, but neither enable
nor disable split operation. FR disables split operation. FT will enable
or disable split operation depending on whether or not you set it to the
same VFO as FR.

When you click on a DX Spot in Logger32, it uses FR to set the radio to
VFO A, and FA to set the frequency. Both commands are required.

What you want would require using both FR and FT to set receive and
transmit to separate VFOs, and using both FA and FB to set both VFOs to
the same frequency.

Of course, since not everyone would want this behaviour, this would
require a configuration option to allow the user to turn it on and off.
Bob may decide this falls too far into the bells & whistles category and
decline, or he may decide to implement it - but I'll ask.
