As it does here.  It helps if the dumb operator on this end selects
Polling!  AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

How could I miss that?  I guess I confused that with the "transceive"
mode other rigs can be put into.  I selected it and all is working
well (well, the S-meter isn't working, but I'm not sure if I ever coded
that into the Hamlib backend for the FT-920).

Now, here is an idea for a future version.  A button to "suspend"
Hamlib might be useful to avoid contention when using gmfsk, fldigi, or
similar.  As it seems to work now, if I disable Hamlib support in the
Preferences dialog, my settings aren't preserved.

Someday I'll figure this computer stuff out!  *:-/

Sorry for the false alarm.  Sigh...
