IIRC, holding the button brings up the Notch Edit mode where you get to pick the manual freq.
Having a user interface that is modal can be very frustrating. If a button does one thing at one time and another some time later it can represent a moving target for learning and leave people confused. For that reason, I'd prefer to leave it the way it is. At least it is predictable. Or maybe a cool mod would be to add a config setting that would allow you to set Notch to Manual, Auto or Both for SSB. That way, you could bypass the Manual mode if you never use it and the Notch button could be a simple On/Of switch. And then, if you held it down, it could induce a short circuit across the finals of the LID who is jamming you. Hold the button for a few seconds and your problem is truly solved :-) - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Iain MacDonnell - N6ML Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 4:37 PM To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] Notch control A minor "usability" issue... Tapping NOTCH once engages "auto" mode, then a second tap goes to "manual", then a third tap turns notch off. That's all OK... except when I tap once to "auto", then, a short while later, the lid who was throwing a carrier goes away, I tap the button again, and expect it to turn notch off, but it still cycles into manual mode, requiring a further tap. Sooo... perhaps if auto mode has been engaged for more than a second or so, a single tap could turn notch off, instead going to manual mode? Actually, thinking about it some more; maybe manual mode should only come into play on "hold" instead of "tap"? I imagine other would have different preferences, though....
