[WT-support] RE: WT-support] QSX test results

[Dave Zeph]

I'm afraid he isn't really listening.

The primary problem is that pressing ALT-F3 ought to cause the software to
"fetch" the frequencies from the Icom.

As you said last night, alternatively it should only fetch the A-VFO, add
QSX and leave the QSX Frequency BLANK (epty).

You should note that if CT can do ALT-F3 properly - the SPOT contains the
A-VFO Frequency and nothing else - leaving it for the operator to add "QSX
7xxx.x" - then Win-Test should be able to as well.

I think you need to tell them this.

We're just now getting set up at the cabin.  I have good connectivity to my
neighbor (after getting my Linksys USB-Wireless-G Adapter pas the trees and
out in the open), but their Satellite Internet is DOG SLOW contained to the
DSL on the other mountain.  Still, an port in a storm!!!!

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!
