Here Here Mel ! There are many features that if you analysed it you could do with "just a few mouse clicks"; and they all add up.
- rig control / mode selection - is a nice to have in a logging programme; but we accept that the user is not lazy for wanting it (I bet someone used Erkki's argument 15 years ago ! - Rotator control - entering time automatically What about in DX4WIN "operator preferences" - they save you having to configure the programme every time you use it; for your laziness! We accept these niceties; and the same should be true of other features that would enhance the programme! In Win Test, which was the example I used, the choice of which cluster to use etc is still down to the user; it is merely anther preference that he sets up. I think about it as "operator convenience"; rather than laziness. I have enough things to do with my PC before I want to operate! 73 Dave G3NKC -----Original Message----- From: Mel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 08 August 2009 20:08 To: Erkki Heikkinen Cc: 'N8NN'; 'Dave Sharred'; 'Jim Reisert AD1C'; 'Dennis Petrich'; 'DX4WIN' Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX cluster hookup? Oh for crying out loud! It's NOT a lot of work to connect. But after you have done it many thousands of times it DOES get irritating. Every other logging program I have used takes care of this little detail... why can't DX4Win? It's not something that needs to be done right now... but it is a small detail that Paul should look at... and I suspect its somewhere on his list.
