Hi All
Don’t want to start an argument and please feel free to ignore my comments.
It seems a LOT of the errors recently seem to be because HamLib have altered
defaults and others have to pick up the flack.
It always used to be the case ’never alter the default’ - yes add new features
but never change the default.
There has been the issue of powering rigs on - default changed, shared ptt -
default changed.
There are more than a ‘couple of complains’ on this mailing list alone to keep
the status quo.
Please Please Please DO NOT start to toss the blame around - oh it up to xyz to
change their software to over-ride the changes we made. Just keep defaults as
they were and all will be happy.
End of rant
Tom
