If I forget to put on a belt or suspenders, maybe there could be a sensor at the door that would staple my pants to my waist. I'm just not a fan of trying to make up for someones lack of attention to the job at hand. A car ad I saw on TV recently concluded with the statement that by virtue of all the safety devices on board, it wasn't necessary to devote as much attention to driving. I find that kind of thinking truly frightening.
Have I transmitted on the wrong VFO? Of course, and I take full blame for that. It's not the radio's fault. It is of course your company, and your decision. I'm not going to stop vigorously supporting Elecraft. > On Feb 18, 2015, at 11:26 AM, Wayne Burdick <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Feb 18, 2015, at 8:18 AM, Mike Reublin NF4L <[email protected]> wrote: > >> If it's an option, OK, but I am convinced that if an op misses the existing >> two indicators on the LCD display, and the Δf yellow LED, then more >> indicators aren't gonna help.
