[Dx4win] Radio drivers for IC-7600 and IC-7700

[Massimo 'Max' MUCCI - I8NHJ]

Dick,
Sorry, I missed to mention the radio indeed.
It is the 7600. The split mode is read and set correctly but I suspect that reading the VFO B frequency, the driver
issues the commands 'Select VFO B', 'Read Frequency and mode' than 'Select VFO A'.

My SteppIr and the K1-Expert connected on the CI-V bus go crazy that way... HI HI HI

We just need ICOM makes the "Read/set VFO B frequency and mode" command available very soon.
