[WT-support] IC7700/IC7800 VFO B

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

My understanding, Tim, is that software can issue a command to the radio 
to read either VFO-A or VFO-B.  However, there is no command in the ICOM 
protocol that software can issue to tell whether the radio is in split 
mode or not.

If software alone controls split mode (i.e. keep your hands off the 
radio buttons), then software can independently keep track of whether IT 
put the radio into split or transceive mode.  That's how CT does it I 
believe.
