IC-R8600 - SMALLER TUNING STEPS WHEN USED WITH THE AR-DV1
My latest eSPYonARD is ready, but not yet released, pending what I imagine will be s 'fixed' Firmware release from AOR. Several reports of v.2101C problems, which incidentally I have managed to 'fix' in software.
I mention this because in s recent post, I said that I had incorporated an IC-R8600 function, that shows that Radio's frequency when the DV1 is tuned around 10.7 MHz. A surprisingly high number of people have mentioned using the DV1 with the Icom, so DMR and TETRA modes are available to it.
I also said I was not sure of what practical value that might be, but then I read the discussions regarding the R8600's tuning steps (and lack of small ones).
For those using the two Radios together, with the Program's ability to show the actual frequency the DV1 is interpreting from the R8600, one can also use the AR-DV1's smaller 'tuning steps' which include 0.50K, 0.10K, 0.05K and 0.01K.
For those who sometimes need lower Steps than the IC-R8600 allows, that could be useful hopefully.
Of course this does rely on eSPYonARD's ability to show the real IC-R8600's Frequency being received by the DV1, either when tuning via the Program's VFOA, or using the Program's Scope when both Receivers are connected via the Icom's 10.7 MHz output.
