This is where RSID shines. Prior to RSID, users had to refer to the Sights & Sounds on the web site. But the only down side, is the signal you are trying to decode using RSID. > I like the two added buttons and don't find the gui too crowded, but > that's just my opinion.

So I guess we are back to being somewhere on the gui. > And btw, I appreciate all the help you've provided to me and everyone > else on this list. Thanks > Bob W6CP Well anyway these were just my thoughts and I guess to have complete user control of RSID and the pskreporter these buttons need to be somewhere. Ed W3NR
