Hi ?ystein, you are mistaken, Polling icom rigs continually will still not provide you with information on split or current TX vfo since there are no commands to Read this information from the radio. Yes these things can be set under software control BUT they cannot be read from the radio by software. this is the root cause of the problem
Continual polling is not always a good idea and really should not be required by a logging package such as DXbase 73 Brendan EI6IZ On Tue, 2007-10-09 at 18:51 +0200, ?ystein Stokkeland wrote: > We should not mix up programs.
