Gary and Steve,
more testing with my 7700 confirmed AL9As findings - the %O just turns off
the RIT..
Also operation of the %O seems to be erratic. Sometimes you need to press
the F-key with the %O a second or third time before the RIT is turned off.
As Gary reported the offset is never cleared.
According to my manual the new RIT commands only allow setting a specific
offset.
So to clear the RIT offset you need to command the RIT to offset 0Hz.
If I read the Firmware 2.0 addendum right the command would be 21 00 00 00
00 (all hex).
