Hi -

Tks. I'll check with Larry.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to do for correcting this because it's 
an Icom issue. Actually, the Icom protocol does not send any protocol to 
the computer to reflect manual changes done on the Front Panel to the 
SPLIT status. I'm afraid you will have to live with this!
