Ian, I agree absolutely, hence my use of LINK the way i do.
I have no idea where Elecraft will take this but i can say if i have to resort to creating a Macro, assigning it to another key (i already use PF1 and PF2) then i will be annoyed that i have to change the way i have operated for 7 years just to satisfy others. Ekecraft want to enrich the features is terrific....try not to alienate satisfied customers is also desirable i would have thought. Oh well, it is what it is so for now i will watch and wait before making a decision on what i will do if the advocates have there way. I just hope elecraft consider the whole user base prior to making this change. I know i am not the only one using LINK the way i do. 73 Gary Vk1ZZ K3, KX3, KPA500-FT, KAT500-FT,P3.
