[DXBase] Kenwood TS-2000 users.

I may have the answer to this one.
DXB 2003 sends the mode before the frequency when setting the radio, in 
some radios (like the elecraft k2 which uses the kenwood command set) that 
remember last used mode on a per band basis, this will on occasion cause 
the wrong mode to be set because the software sets the VFO mode on the band 
it is just LEAVING (hence the U in CW) and tunes to the new band with 
whatever mode was last used on that band.
Some radios apparently need the commands sent in this order so it's not 
really a bug.
The fix is easy, you simply have to include the mode set command at the end 
of the frequency set line and set the mode set command to Null, the mode 
set command is never sent to the radio without also setting the frequency 
so including the mode set Command in the VFO set line won't break anything.
Here is an extract from my file for the Elecraft K2 It may need some 
modifying for the TS2000 but hopefully you get the idea.
showing how I have configured the radios.ini file to make it work correctly 
with the K2
SelectVFOA= eoc(100) asc( "FR0;" ) eoc(0)
SetVFOA= asc( "FA" ) dec( %vfoa,11 ) asc( ";" ) asc("MD") dec( %mode,1) asc 
( ";" ) eoc(0)
GetVFOA= asc("FA;") rrs(14) eoc(0)
PrsVFOA= asc("FA") dec(%vfoa,11) asc(";") eoc(0)
SelectVFOB= eoc(0)
SetVFOB= asc( "FB" ) dec( %vfob,11 ) asc( ";" ) eoc(0)
GetVFOB= asc("FB;") rrs(14) eoc(0)
PrsVFOB= asc("FB") dec(%vfob,11) asc(";") eoc(0)
SetMode= eoc(0)
GetMode= asc( "IF;" ) rrs(38) eoc(0)
PrsMode= asc("IF") dec(%dummy,27) dec(%mode,1) dec(%dummy,7) asc(";") eoc(0)
I have put the entire K2 file at the very bottom of this e-mail for 
reference, NOTE there are no line breaks in the middle of lines.
The K2 runs very happily here with pacing set to 1 and EOC(0) which makes 
for very fast responses to commands, Perhaps the ts200 can use similar fast 
timings as it sure speeds things up.
The eoc(100) in the first line
SelectVFOA= eoc(100) asc( "FR0;" ) eoc(0)
cures a 'radio not responding ' problem that crops up sometimes under win2k 
on my machines.
