There is no free space created by removing the slider. The CAT widget is still
there. Though maybe we could do a color code on the freq display to show if
it's working (e.g. red text if it's not since red background means OOB right
now).
Seems like a lot of angst for a control that doesn't do much and will be used
by a relatively small crowd.
But before moving any further need to cross the hurdle with Joe and Bill about
whether to keep it at all.
There seems to be a resistance to "options" but I'm a big fan of giving
operators easy-to-use controls for the way they operate and several have
expressed a desire for easy graph level control from the main window.
Qt's layout facility is a PITA....I wish it was just drag'n'drop. I don't work
with it enough so have to muddle through how to even move a widget...break
layout...move...recreate layout...but layout doesn't work anymore....arrghhh...

I agree the placement is misleading...but there really isn't a better place to
put it without some judicious rearranging. Would need to figure out what to do
with the CAT indicator for example. Or maybe sticking it under the Date/Time
might work. Just not a lot of room to work with.

What about relocating it horizontally right (to the left of the TX messages
Tab control). The DX Call and associated controls could relocate to the left
filling the now free space left by the slider, and the free space they create
to their right could be taken up by the slider.
