[WriteLog] WriteLog Digest, Vol 30, Issue 7

[Gary Senesac AL9A]

I've not noticed a lot of communication problems between WL and my
IC-756ProI with the CI-V Transceive setting in the ON position.  I just
tried turning CI-V Transceive OFF and the main thing I noticed was a
SIGNIFICANT delay in the time it takes my IC-PW1 amplifier to follow band
changes.  In some cases it's several seconds.  This is far more troublesome
than any rig polling conflicts I've noticed with the CI-V Transceive set to
ON.  I would hate to toast the amp in the heat of battle by jumping on a new
DX spot on a different band to grab a new mult and forgetting to wait
paitiently for the amp to catch up to the rig's QSY.  I'm leaving it set to
ON.
