That's a very responsible attitude (although the same result can be achieved with a panadapter).

A very useful option would be a 'SPLIT UP' mode, like fixed-tune but with VFO A fixed at one division from the left. That would allow us to view the pile-up at the highest available resolution, spread across 9 divisions rather than 5. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
