No need to do this on a PC ... a PIC / TinyAT / etc. 8 pin
microcontroller could easily be tied to the ATU/K2IO/etc header on the
control board where it could sniff for band changes, mode changes, etc.
and send back appropriate commands to make little corrections. I've been
meaning to do this forever -- first on my 706, and now on my K2 -- for
auto-adjusting the VFO for CW vs sideband (like the Yaesu rigs do).

Agreed! If I could add only one item to the software, it would be that
separate modes could be stored with each VFO. This does come up from

"room" left to be able to do this. Sure would be convenient. 73 es gud

If you have KIO2 or KPA100 serial connection to your PC, you could
theoretically run some sort of macro at the PC end to recognise that you've
changed VFOs, and fixup stuff for you, then keep track if you change modes
so it can fixup properly next time.
Personally I'd throw together something in perl if I wanted this
functionality, but that's the kinda geek I am. Not sure how to do this sort
of thing on Windoze - maybe our favourite HRD author will chime in?
Of course, this doesn't help much if you're in the field without your
logging laptop.
