Although I still "really enjoy ham radio", I guess I'm really missing something.
The directional readout on my HAMM has been broken (again) for months so if I really need to know where the beam is pointed, I have to go into another room and look out the window. I do this occasionally and make a mental note of where it's pointed. Band conditions and experience tell me the general beam heading I need and about how long I need to actuate the rotor to get it pointed correctly. (This is 20M only, on the other bands I have a fixed wire dipole) When I tune around and hear a station I'd like to work knowing the distance is useless information and I've already tuned him in, so what more do I need?

When I see the station I would like to work, I click on that station and it changes the K3 to that freq and all the setting. Also logs for you and many other features. Google Comm Cat and down load a free demo. If you buy it, it's cheap and worth every penny.
