[ICOM] UT-102 operation in IC-756Pro3 help

[Stephen Budensiek]

Hello all,
   Thank you for the input.   There's nothing in the manual to explain
this, my hearing is not real good.   I had no signal, so I thought it
was say 010 point 15 mhz, but the first 0 was for the S meter reading.
 Tried it on 15m, and it did something like 121 point 0856 mhz.  I
notice it drops all trailing zero's, so 21.100 will be 0 21.1 mhz.
    One more question.   Does anyone know how to expand the UT-102
readings?  I briefly had a 756Pro2 that would give a reading with mode
everytime I hit a band key, thus it would say 21.020 mhz cw the first
time I hit the 21 key, then 21.085 mhz rtty, then 21.390 mhz usb the
third time.   I thought I've seen briefly something that can be done
somewhere in the 756Pro series that does this.   Anyone seen this, or
know anything about it?   Never had to hit and hold the speech key,
sorta liked it that way.
   Again, thank all of you for you input.   Wish the manual deal with
it a little.

73's de Stephen
