Ciao Jim Just downloaded and tested the new driver. The 2nd VFO reading is understood by the equipment on the CI-V chain as a frequency reading and, as before, all the equipment change the frequency during the reading and than go back to the main reading afterward. Moreover, if you have the 2nd VFO active (Main/Sub switch), the radio goes back to the MAIN VFO after the reading. This happens on my 7600.
