[DXBase] Radio ini for IC7800 ?

Tue, 23 Mar 2004 20:56:34 -0700

I asked about the lack of a command to zero the RIT in the PROII and
received the response that they had no plan to add it.  (They command would
be useful in a contest running stations, after working one who called off
frequency.)

Jack...I downloaded the ICOM 7800 manual and have searched through the
commands accessible via the CI-V interface and can find no command which
will return the current status of SPLIT  and/or DUAL-WATCH.

ICOM has some 'splaning to do as this is a HUGE drawback.

Although I have been otherwise pleased with my ICOM 758ProII, the fact
that it also fails in this regard has irked me to no end!  I can't
imagine they would make this mistake again!

I had e-mail correspondence with the USA managers of ICOM and made it
clear that this was a problem...and they fully understood...and said
they had communicated this with Japan.

Is there no hope for ICOM?
