[ICOM] CI-V commands for determing the state of Split andDualWatch

[MikeR]

Hi Ekki -
Sort of a (poor) play on words. I meant commands (for instance) for setting
the filter to narrow, medium or wide on the Pro II by tacking on a 01, 02,
or 03 to the command to set the mode. It's not in the manual, although the
feature exists. Your way of letting the computer do the work is great. The
computer doesn't get bored, or sleepy, or frustrated.
73,
Mike, NF4L
