[Dxbase] Dxbase and Icom 756PROIII

Thu Nov 25 20:00:20 EST 2004

Downloaded the ProIII pdf....unfortunately they have not corrected the 
problem which is the lack of any ability to sense the current state of 
the radios split and dualwatch status.
I have contacted several management people at ICOM, by e-mail and in 
person for the last 3 years explaining that they are the only one of the 
major radio manufactuers that does not allow the status of dual watch 
and split to be sensed via the serial port. Without this capability 
it's impossible for a logging program to do a complete job of putting 
the correct frequencies in the log and to generate dx spots. Kenwood 
and Yaesu both have this essential capability.
I have just about lost all hope for ICOM!
I would have bought the Pro III, but now I have given up on them and 
will look elsewhere!
