Certainly desirable Tom, but I've been in Amsat and on the birds since the '70s and it wasn't until the last couple of years that I got my PC hooked to my FT-736R! And then just this year to get it hooked to my FT-817 (IF) radio.
I will say that there's nothing better than PC doppler and rotator control, having used 3 hands many times in the past. I would be a terrible drummer! But for all fairness, there are a number of reasons that one may not have PC aided doppler correction so the one true rule still holds good. Not a flame, just another opinion. I'm sure this thread will get some mileage! 73, Jerry NØJY > A rookie observation . > > That article was written in 1994 well prior to the state of the art in full doppler correction.
