Whenever you key down, a user-selectable voice (Arnie Schwarzenegger? Margaret Thatcher?) could say "Warning. Test mode selected."
Other warnings could save the user from making potentially expensive or simply embarrasing mistakes, like: "Warning: High SWR detected." or "Voice modes not permitted in the CW sub-band." It could even offer helpful pile-up breaking tips if it detects that you have been calling for several minutes on the same frequency. ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com KComm for K2/K3: www.g4ilo.com/kcomm.html -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Software-suggestion%3A-a-more-prominent-TEST-indicator-tp18209658p18217985.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
