The Xcat does this with a fly-lead from the xcat to a point inside the
radio, since the switching on the X is all mechanical.
Note that the radio may or may not just read addresses n through n+23
(for the 9000, +15 for the X) locations in order. Inquiring minds want
to ... ooh, shiny!

There is a "switch mode" command, iirc. The question is whether, when
the radio is sitting on Mode 1, sending it a "Switch Mode To 1" command
will induce the required heartburn, or if the radio thinks its smarter
than that. But even if the radio tries to filter out such "duplicate"
or "repetitive" commands, there's a simple workaround: alternate between
two modes for VFO type control.
