[WT-support] CAT frequency read - K3

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

The Win-Test architecture only lets you *send* commands to the radio; you
cannot retrieve any replies that the radio may send back (because replies
are handled by a different Win-Test thread).

But to get the frequency of VFO A (1 KHz resolution), for *any* supported
radio, not just the K3, you don't have to send K3 CAT commands; all you have
to do is:

local curFreq = wtRadio:GetFreq()
local curFreqA = wtRadio:GetFreq(WT_RADIO_VFOA)
local curFreqB = wtRadio:GetFreq(WT_RADIO_VFOB)

Note that these only return frequency in even kHz, e.g. 14060 not 14060.2.
