Hi Ted, Many thanks for the info. I thought that I knew N1MM quite well, but I had missed that feature. When my head recovers from the contest I will try it.
The other thing I was looking for was the ability to directly enter a frequency into VFO B, however it looks like the only way to do it is by entering in VFO A and swapping (unless someone knows different :-)) 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Mon, 31 Oct 2011 07:28:48 -0400, Ted Bryant wrote: > You don't need a macro in N1MM, Stewart.
