[RTTY] Value of Icom Rigs with RTTY Decoders

[Torben Kahr]

I am going to by an IC 7000 but here in Europa it is not possible now - 
mabye in spring.

I am working with the cocoaModem with my IC 700 and I am using an 
SignaLink SL-1+
I have the manual of the IC 7000 and i am sure I can use the IC 7000 
like the IC 700 with the same
interface and cable....

The point is that as far I can understand the IC 7000 manual, it can be 
fixed in split mode on RX and TX
so it is possible to use AFSK without speciel tuning for QRG change.... 
That is not possible with the IC 700.
