I hope that it will also work for the R7000, since the %$#(!!) ICOM folks left it out and won't even talk about it! Also, the specs I saw at HAMCON (Long Beach 8/10) were continuous coverage from 25-2000 MHZ, with specs guaranteed to 1300 MHz. By the way, I saw the Yaesu FRG-9600 running under computer control at the convention, and it is FAST (20-50 channels/sec)! However, if someone can kludge the same capability ine of lab equipment. -- John Moore (NJ7E) {decvax|ihnp4|hao}!noao!terak!anasazi!john (602) 952-8205 (day or evening)
