This is still quite complex. I'd go for something simpler, namely a single SWL "band" that contains all of the frequencies outside the ham bands. The SWL "band" could be placed between 6 meters and 160 meters in the BAND switch's rotation, and would always contain the last non-amateur frequency used. The existing CONFIG:BND MAP menu item could be used to enable/disable this feature: SWL IN would enable the new feature, SWL OUT would restore the existing modus operandi for those who prefer it. 73, Rich VE3KI ______________________________________________________________ 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
