[WriteLog] RIT Clear on the IC-7000 doesn't seem to work *

[K0BX]

I guess I have egg on my face.  Gary is correct and I am not.  My 706 
and PRO3 does not clear the RIT with the "*".  I guess I was thinking 
about my TS-850S/AT which did.
So that solves the problem, it is a ICOM thing.

I mostly operate contests, CW and RTTY and never had need for the RIT.  
Usually I just split the VFO's.

Thanks everyone for the help and letting me see the light!
