[DXLog.net - Support] Shift Binds to Opposit Radio (when using two keyboards)

[José Nunes CT1BOH]

You can do the following exercise:

In keyboard1 select letter A
In keyboard2 elect letter L

Not push both letter at the same time

What do you see?
radio1 log field will be populated with AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
radio2 log field will be populated with LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

This is focus to both log fields at the same time
