[DXLog.net - Support] Version 2.1.8 in testing phase

[9A5K]

Hi Fabio.

Thanks for your info about testing.

I was testing this things with small FT-450 here, currently no access to
K-3..
So, there are couple of things which needed to change with CAT functions to
enable this functionality for all radios
where possible. Also, there are couple of shortcuts which needs to
check/fix to move frequencies on right VFO and radio.

Basic idea was to exchange Radio 2 with VFO 2 (yep, need to change the
labels too to easier understand what's going on)...

Still a lot of work to do and this was expected that it will require a
little bit more testings.
I will try to check first this shorcuts, and cat commands for K3, so you
can expect new build later today in devtest folder..

Thanks again for the report.

73,
Chris  9A5K
