Ed may have had a tiring day today working with new users :-)

He is right though.  There are no 1 line code changes.  Most are many 
lines of code, hours of testing, finding the missing link that you 
forgot about, and then creating the new documentation to accompany that 
new feature.  It all boils down an economic use of resources.  Nearly 
100% of the change that you have seen in the past 2 weeks have come from 
my desk.  Stelios is somewhat limited in his capacity at the present 
time ... he is on a netbook, and no transceiver with which to make 
tests.  He is my goto guy when I get stuck on some aspect of the 
coding.  Also my silent gate keeper to make sure that I do not unravel 
the thread of 120,000 lines of code that fldig/flarq has become.

Here is the scenario that Ed describes that is a 2 click solution to the 
brain dead rig syndrome.  I also have a psk20 and a psk40 qrp rig Brian.

Cllick this button:



Double click your desired frequency/mode/audio freq from here:

 

Observe this as the result:



If your rig really is rock bound then this only gets done once at the 
beginning of each use of the application.

One click, one mouse-wheel-scroll / double-click and your in business.

Practice those strokes folks and y'all make a hole in one.  Read here 
for a whole lot more info:

You do not need a CAT transceiver to make use of the existing 
store-retrieve functions of rig control.
