[WT-support] CI-V Interface to Icom is WinTest different than CT?

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

Oliver ..... I have set the CI-V TRANSCEIVE Option to OFF and it doesn't
seem to make any difference.

When the Dial is turned suddenly, it takes 1-2 Seconds for the Bandmap
Frequency to change.

The only way that the Bandmap Frequency changes at a steady, continuous rate
is to turn the Dial VERY VERY SLOWLY.

It does not update at the rate we are used to in CT - there's no doubt about
that.  We are used to the Bandmap Frequency changing much more rapidly in
CT.

I don't care if the implantation is the same as CT, but it's VERY IMPORTANT
to us that it work as well as CT.

Right now I would classify this as a SHOW STOPPER.

Actually, WT does not get the frequency information the same way that CT 
does. Check that the "CI-V transceive" option is set to OFF on the radio 
and WT should get the frequency smoothly that way.
