The problem is, there are entirely too many people telling me how we should keep doing the same things instead of asking themselves if the old methods are indeed the best. Now I am making some assumptions here that I accept as standard. They are: 1. Rig control is the rule rather than the exception. 2. The radio/computer combination forms a communications system. They are not really separate. Once you make that leap then perhaps what I am talking about begins to make more sense. We don't really need a VFO control in fldigi. We already have one on the rig. You don't really need an extra one. OTOH, we *could* have a single frequency control for our emission. That single control would actually control two function -- VFO frequency and audio subcarrier. The setting of that control would then be reflected in the display of emission center frequency. Yes, all of this already appears in one fashion or another in fldigi as it stands. I am just pushing everyone to start thinking about a different way of viewing things and no longer focusing on the VFO setting on the rig. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 [email protected] +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.931.492.6776 (USA) (+1.931.4.WB6RQN)
