[WriteLog] RIT Clear on the IC-7000 doesn't seem to work *

Thu Jul 29 08:25:53 PDT 2010

I guess I have egg on my face. Gary is correct and I am not. My 706 
and PRO3 does not clear the RIT with the "*". I guess I was thinking 
about my TS-850S/AT which did.
So that solves the problem, it is a ICOM thing.
I mostly operate contests, CW and RTTY and never had need for the RIT. 
Usually I just split the VFO's.
Thanks everyone for the help and letting me see the light!
