If you are like me, there is SO MUCH happening in the amateur radio digital world that it is hard to keep up with , more fun to be had than can be squeezed in to 24 hours. Some software ,like WSJT, can be left active overnight or when out of the shack and the user gets time stamped information about stations detected while they were out. This is very useful but it is static, simply monitoring one frequency and one mode. What would it take to develop an application that can scan different frequencies at larger time intervals that the "scan mode" in modern rigs. Perhaps something that is user defined. Something that might monitor 14070 for 15 minutes and then automatically move to 3581 for an hour , then to 7034 for 30 minutes . Not only would this software change frequency at designated times, it might switch modes too. Listening on 14070 in PSK31 , changing to JT65A and QSYing to 14076 for 20 minutes, and even listening to Olivia on 3581 , etc etc. I guess this could be a major add-on to something like Multipsk or DM780 but maybe it would take another form , something akin to DX Lab Launcher. DX Lab Launcher enables the user to launch varying DX Lab Suit applications , something like this could be used to launch and close different applications at specified times. Example: At 1400Z it launches Winwarbler in RTTY mode, at 1500 it closes Winwarbler and launches Multipsk in Olivia 500/16 and at 1700 it launches VB-Digi/FLARQ in PSK250 .
