TS2000 Satellite mode and Gpredict

Browse Source 
Hi,
Gpredict issues set_vfo commands on sat track engage to switch a/b vfo
and set downlink/uplink frequency.

Although this generally works, Kenwood TS2000 has its own style during
satellite operation:
1) vfo B is *always* for uplink
2) vfo A is *always* for downlink
so vfo selection (FR command) doesn't work: kenwood firmware doesn't
recognize it in Satellite mode.

When Gpredict is trying to set_vfo on TS2000 in Satellite mode it loops
on unrecognized FR command and freezes.

Attached patch checks for TS2000 Satellite mode status and if ON
"disables" set_vfo command.
This allows Gpredict to track downlink/uplink frequency on TS2000 (you
need to configure manually downlink/uplink band on the rig before
engaging)

Please be aware this isn't a "Gpredict patch": it fixes set_vfo behavior
in satellite mode according to ts2000 firmware.

73, Ciao
