rouggy b0da6a3d14 fix: RX and TX both on SUB is simplex, not split
Reported on an FTDX101: with RX and TX moved together to the sub VFO, OpsLog
showed split — and took the MAIN frequency as the transmit one, which would log
the wrong frequency.

ST is a bare flag. It says "split" without saying which VFO transmits, and this
rig raises it whenever the transmit VFO is the sub one, whether or not the
operator is also listening there. FT names the transmit VFO, so where the receive
VFO is known as well (FR), split is derived from the pair: they differ or they do
not. That is a fact about the rig's state rather than a flag whose meaning varies
by model.

The fix is therefore in the probe ORDER, not in the reading: FT is asked first
when FR answered, and ST stays the fallback for rigs that have neither. A test
pins the order and both halves of the trap — that FT gets this case right, and
that ST alone gets it wrong.

// Native Yaesu CAT over the rig's serial/USB port — no OmniRig.
//
// Why this exists: OmniRig sits between OpsLog and the radio and adds its own
// rig-description files, its own VFO/split interpretation and its own polling.
// Every Yaesu problem reported so far came from that layer disagreeing with the
// radio — a .ini that never exposes the VFO, a Freq property that means A on one
// model and B on another, a split flag that alternates. Talking to the rig
// directly removes the disagreement: what the radio answers is what we show.
//
// ── The protocol ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
// Modern Yaesu CAT is plain ASCII: a command, its arguments, and a ';'
// terminator. A query is the command with no argument; the rig echoes the same
// command with the value. It is the same shape as Kenwood's, which is why an
// FTDX10 answers a Kenwood-speaking logger for the basics.
//
// FA; → FA014074000; VFO A frequency, 9 digits, Hz
// FB; → FB014100000; VFO B frequency
// MD0; → MD02; operating mode of the main receiver
// FR; → FR1; RECEIVE VFO (0=main/A, 1=sub/B)
// VS; → VS0; selected VFO, on models without FR
// ST; → ST1; split (FTDX10/FTDX101)
// FT; → FT1; TX VFO (FT-991A/FT-710/FT-891 family)
// TX1; / TX0; key / unkey
// ID; → ID0761; model identifier
//
// Two of these are genuinely uncertain across the family and are treated as
// such rather than guessed at: SPLIT is read through ST and, if the rig does not
// answer that, through FT — whichever replies wins, and the choice is
// remembered. Every unrecognised reply is logged raw, because that log is the
// only way to learn a model's real behaviour from an operator's shack.
//
// Verified on: FTDX10, 2026-07-29 — frequency, mode, VFO and split all correct
// against the radio. The other models are still inference from the same CAT
// reference; anything this file asserts about a rig it has not met should be
// read as a hypothesis with a log line attached.
