[TRLog] Frequency hiccups? Addition

Just did a little experimenting, away from "the heat of battle."  It
appears that the program always commands the radio to change bands
properly, but that the software sometimes switches itself back to the band
just left until the radio is polled.  Maybe a clue -- when it does this,
the frequency on the previous band continues to be displayed by the
program.  Once it polls the radio, which seems sometimes to take 2-3
seconds instead of the nominal 1 second, it gets the frequency from the
radio and changes its logging band to match.

Shouldn't the program poll the radio immediately as soon as it changes
bands, or take some other steps not to get confused?
