Gary The ICOM radios do not provide the capability to read the status of split and/or dualwatch. You can set either, but you have no way to determine what mode it is in, thus when issuing a spot you have to hand edit the split or risk sending it wrong.
It's a serious weakness in my opinion, one not shared by other brands.

Just got an email from AES yesterday listing several Icom HF rigs with special pricing through this weekend. I've been seriously pondering the IC-7600 and the special offer is tipping the scale. Not to mention the fact that the XYL said I should go ahead and order what I want!!! Not sure what that's going to cost me down the road, but I'll chance it! So this question is for anyone with an IC-7600 who uses DXBase2006 and or WriteLog. What do you use for a radio interface in these programs. I see DXBase2006 has drivers for the IC-756ProIII and the IC-7800, but not the IC-7700 nor the IC-7600. What radio interface do you use instead? Similarly WriteLog has radio interfaces for the IC-756PRO3, IC-7700 and IC-7800, but not the IC-7600. Again, is there a radio driver "close enough" that will work with the IC-7600 with some ini file mods? The sale only goes through Monday so I need to to decide quickly whether or not to make the leap. Also before the XYL changes her mind! 73, Gary AL9A ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
