I've checked the IF; response and the reported frequency (operating frequency) never changes ... it is always VFO A. The split flag works as documented .. that's why I said the software author should use the FB; data for transmit frequency when the split flag was "on". Believe me, I pay very close attention to frequency and mode data from ALL rigs because we have to be able to decode it correctly in microHAM Router. 73, ...
