[Logic] Two Radios, Two Log Forms; or TRX-Manager

This is how I used to get between my Omni 6+ and my FT-1000D:  I had a 
logform defined for each and swapped back and forth between them.  They 
were both open simultaneously, one active and one inactive.  I thought that 
was pretty cumbersome, and because I am either terminally forgetful or 
unbelievably impatient, I usually forgot which one was open at the most 
unfortunate times, but it did work just fine.

Quite a while back I purchased TRX-Manager to handle the radios, and I just 
go to that and tell it which one I want to be controlled by the single open 
logform.  TRX-Manager works much better with the FT-1000D than the Tentec 
OMNI 6+, because the Yaesu comm protocol is a bit more robust and 
straightforward than the Icom, a subset of which is what the Tentec 
implements.  The biggest difference is when I try to do a set freq to the 
Tentec ... it takes a while.  I've already mentioned my patience problem.

I haven't had two separate logforms in a while, so the details are a bit 
fuzzy.  Give me a buzz if you can't get it to work.
