Good point -- I just put a patch in Hamlib to ensure PTT gets turned off if it's on during a band change.

You can also type numbers directly into the spinner controls or use the mouse wheel." -------- I recently discovered that the mouse wheel, besides being useful on the spinners, can be placed on the band setting control box and then be used for instant band up/down changes while receiving. On transceivers with control via USB cable, such as TS590SG and IC7300, the transceiver's CAT serial cable port can be used to control the band a linear is on via a separate cable built for that purpose. Thusly, spinning the mouse wheel in the band selection control box will instantly switch transceiver AND linear to any band of choice. So my question is, IF the system is currently transmitting and that little box is tickled with the mouse, will the mouse wheel effects be ignored by the software, or will the band be instantly switched? That can be hazardous for the linear or transceiver in the case of antenna mismatch high VSWR coming into play on the new band. --Glenn -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
