Generate a tune up tone when WSPR band hopping for Tx periods
Previously a tune up  tone was not generated if the  first period on a
new band was  going to be a Tx  period, this is no longer  so and thus
allows low (or high) power tune tones as set up by the user. Note that
tune up tones are  still not sent for bands flagged as  Rx Only in the
band hopping  schedule, this  is to protect  active aerials  and avoid
unintended transmissions on unlicensed bands.

// WSPR Band Hopping Control
//
// WSPR specifies a globally coordinated band hopping schedule and
// this class implements that.
//
// Responsibilities
//
// Provides a maintenance dialog allowing the user to define which
// bands are allowed from the band hopping schedule as defined here:
//
// http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/doc/wspr/wspr-main.html
//
// Along with selecting bands a flag indicating that a short tune up
// signal is required for specified bands before they are used for
// transmit or receive, unless they are flagged as Rx Only (intended
// to protect Rx active aerials and non-licensed bands).
//
// Provides a Qt property that holds the Tx percentage which is used
// to generate a semi-randomized schedule of period to transmit. This
// schedule is random but adjusted to limit the number of consecutive
// transmission periods, it also adjusts the schedule to ensure that
// the overall number of transmission periods in any two hour hopping
// schedule reflects the percentage provided.
//
// Collaborations
//
// Settings including the selected bands with periods, the tune up
// flags and the gray line duration are maintained in persistent
// storage using the provided QSettings object instance.
//
// A passed in Configuration object instance is used to query the
// FrequencyList_v2 model to determine working frequencies for each
// band. The row index of this model is returned by this classes
// hopping scheduling method so it may be conveniently used to select
// a new working frequency by a client.
