[ICOM] CI-V question

Tue Jun 1 23:08:20 EDT 2004

I would assume if you want to tune VFO B, you would set the frequency you
want in VFO A and then do a swap of A and B.  I also assume the main
receiver is always VFO A and the sub-receiver is always VFO B.  So to setup
a split of 5 khz for say 14.200 and 14.205, you would send 14.205 into vfo
A, swap A and B, and then put 14.200 in VFO A and send the split command.  I
know this sounds awkward, but it would work with just those commands.

I've been through all this stuff very recently when I added ICOM to my
product line.  I actually like the ICOM computer command set.  It is the
most consistent one of all the major brands across all its radios.
