Not having a perfect diversity set up here at my QTH, I can say that all of
your "first hand experience" both as an amateur and as a professional differs
from my personal findings. So we'll have to agree to disagree. As you see, I
am not attacking you personally, or even saying that you are wrong, simply that
I disagree with your knowledge based on my personal use with MY particular set
ups.
As for not wanting to "screw up everyone's" diversity mode, well, I would
suggest that you also request that the RIT, XIT, Notch and Split button all get
removed from your rig as well. After all, any one of those buttons can easily
put your rig in a state where you're unable to receive or transmit on it's
intended frequency. Therefore it could potentially make communications
un-useable on your rig. Imagine if the Notch was accidently turned on and the
selected notch freq. was sitting right in the middle of your pass band. As you
already know, you would now hear NOTHING.. Just like the cancelation that you
fear so much could happen with the Mixer mode enabled in the config menu,
should one voluntarily and purposefully turn it on.
Having an option that can be disabled by a config menu is no different than any
of the above buttons I've just talked about. For those of us that will find
this feature useful I would rather YOU not be the deciding factor as to whether
or not it is available for my use.
It fact, as I pointed out to you in private e-mail, it was Lyle in his last
post to us that suggested "who is he" to be the "Silicon police" and it's not
his place to decide who can do what with their rigs. I don't recall naming you
directly Joe. I'm sorry that this has become such a difficult thing for you to
discuss.
Eric, I would suggest that this is the right time to end this thread... It's
obvious that some have become so agitated they can no longer have a rational
discussion on the subject, it seems this may have escalated to an emotional
level for some. Thank you for allowing the extra few posts.
