[WT-support] WT 2.14.0 release - IC756PROII Split Wrong

[Barry Merrill]

Sorry to report that 2.14.0 does not handle split on the Icom 756PROII.

The Good News:

With COM1 - RADIO 1 - IC756PROII  9600 8-n-1  DTR  CW   RTS CW

   I am able to see and control the radio, and by changing
   DTR/RTS both from Handshake default to CW, I am able to use
   a DB9-Y cable and both control the radio AND use com port 
   keying successfully,
   (which is how I've used WriteLog for years with a single
    COM Port cable for both radio and keying).


The Bad News.  Starting with:

WT RADIO 1 Window Display:             IC756PROII VFOs:

VFO A 7065   VFO B -----         VFOA 7065,LSB,TX   VFOB 7033,CW

I issued "split 7200", and it caused:

WT Radio 1 Display:                         VFOs:
VFO A 7200   VFO B 7200          VFOA 7200,LSB      VFOB 7033,CW,TX

The radio did split, VFOB became the TX, but the receive 7065
frequency in VFO A was changed to 7200, and the VFOB frequency
and mode were unchanged.
  (Perhaps it's too much to expect the CW mode to also be changed to
   LSB by the split command, so it's not unreasonable that I would have 
   to make that mode change on the second VFOI manually on the radio.)
