[ICOM] Thoughts on the Icom 7700

[Joe - WDØM]

Hi Ekki,

When in the Split mode, pressing the XFC button (Transmit Frequency 
Check) monitors your transmit frequency, allowing you to listen on the 
frequency you are going to transmit on.  It's much like using the DW 
function, but it's momentary, until you release the XFC button.

73,

Joe
