Yes Peter, I did think of that possibility, in which case you just wouldn't use the option I proposed.
Diving into the menus each time I change from external PSU to internal batteries gets old quite quickly, the less times I am in there the better as there is the danger of inadvertently changing something else by mistake by turning the VFO in a moment of confusion. I doubt anything will be done, but I thought it was worth asking. 73 David Anderson GM4JJJ > On 3 Jun 2015, at 03:09, Peter Lambert <[email protected]> wrote: > > Consider the use of an external battery pack.
