Hi Nate & Marc,

I put the no_xchg config parameter in a while back to allow an 
alternative way of setting the split TX frequency without glitching the 
Rx. It is used by WSJT-X but other software may find it useful.

As for the IC-9100 SAT mode I don't have much to add, SAT mode on the 
IC910 and IC9100 is very different from other Icom CAT philosophy and 
not straight forward to control. Our project has no need for it. It is 
possible it simply doesn't work correctly yet.
