Re: [Dx4win] ICOM 7600-7700-7800 and there so called VFO-B SPLIT function

Absolutely not!!! The software must never switch active VFO's as it could be disastrous with amplifiers, tuners and antenna switches monitoring the CI-V bus especially if the second VFO is on a separate band. It possibly might work with Main/Sub radios such as IC910, IC775, IC7800, IC7600 etc.

Ciao Dick and Guy maybe the logic could be changed in the way of: IF THE SPLIT IS ACTIVE THEN SET VFO-B ACTIVE READ ACTIVE VFO END-IF But still not very safe for all the other equipment on the CI-V chain. Sometimes the split frequency can drop on the "next frequency segment" like hap

It is possible to read the second VFO "on demand" instead of only when polling? I think it would be safe to bounce the VFOs like you are doing at the point of writing a log entry and when processing an ALT-A command. At least I would like to try such a system. Dick At 09:13 AM 2/13/2011, ON

Hi All with Icom tranceivers, With ICOM announcing that the split status can be read from some of their radios, we had hope that support for obtaining the split frequency was finally possible in DX4WIN. The way we tried to read the VFO-B frequency is not working as we hoped and SHOULD NOT BE USED.
