Hi Ervin,

let us keep the scoring aside for a minute and look for the rig problem
first....

I had a look into hamlib. I do not think it is a bug, but a
misunderstanding from our side how RIG_VFO_CURR works.

It remembers the last set/get vfo from the rig. So you are correct that
we need to poll for the actual vfo periodically. But we do not need to
use that vfo afterwards because hamlib remebers it itself as
RIG_VFO_CURR.

I picked only the rig_get_vfo calls from your changes and that is
enough to work like a charme. See my last commit on the master branch
and retest. Thanks for the help.
