Hmm, I just assumed it was something not GOOD, Vic
:-)

So what does GCBAD mean? It's an abbreviation

And I GCBAD again for failing to activate SPLIT.
I know we talked about this before. I have
pretty much kept myself honest by using a macro
to activate split and the subreceiver, etc. But
it's still possible to get caught.
I've thought about it a lot based on the
original discussion. I think there is only one
thing (short of a bionic brain transplant) that
would help me:
Optionally make the transmit cursor on the P3
and PSVGA either bright yellow or 'flash'
(change intensity, not totally go on and off)
slowly, or both.
I focus on the pileup, looking at the P3 and
listening to the subreceiver to find the best
spot to call. The problem is that I can turn on
the subreceiver and do all this without
activating SPLIT. I need an indication that I
can't miss that says YOU ARE TRANSMITTING HERE.
I personally don't see red very well, so that's
why I suggested yellow. The red transmit cursor
doesn't stand out well for me. But some 8% of
males have a problem of color perception, and my
particular handicap is the most common.
Note -- I said /optionally/. I know it would
drive some folks nuts.
