I use Split operation = Rig with my Icom radios, which puts the radio in
SPLIT mode, in which VFO A is the receive VFO, and VFO B is the transmit
VFO.

Now, when changing bands, WSJT-X only changes the frequency of VFO A,
leaving VFO B on the preious band, until a WSJT-X initiated transmission
occurs; then VFO B is commanded to the appropriate frequency on the new
band.

A downside to this is that when changing bands, my automatic antenna tuner
needs to adjust itself to the new band, and to do this the radio needs to
transmit at a low power level. But since VFO B is the transmit VFO, and it
is still on the previous band, this doesn't work.

Of course there are various ways to get it to work, that involve pushing a
button or two before initiating the antenna tuner sequence. But I don't see
why changing bands within WSJT-X couldn't just move both VFO A and VFO B to
the new band to begin with.

WSJT-X  v2.0.0-rc5
Windows 10 Pro x64  Build 17134
Icom IC-7300 and Icom IC-7200
