Oh your right Josh, absolutely. But I'm sure a lot of people tuned on a station, heard them say "qrz" and called not knowing he was split. Sometimes the station doesn't always say 'up 2'. And sometimes there are others who are not aware of the station being split and you make a understandably wrong conclusion.
And sometimes even with knowing that, you hit the wrong button. I confess, I've done it, I know better, but I've goofed. I try not to, but as my wife says, "I'm dumber than a stick". My 'feature' suggestion was 'tongue in cheek'. But it could be useful. lol ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "FireBrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 7:18 AM Subject: Re: [DXBase] LOL a possible feature for DXBase*next* > Or maybe listin for a minute before transmitting... > > Josh - KB0GUS > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: FireBrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 9:37 pm > Subject: [DXBase] LOL a possible feature for DXBase*next* > > > Everyone has made the goof of clicking on a cluster spot and not > > realizing he was split > > till you heard a cop start cussing you out.. > > Been Dere, Done Dat, got the nasty emails to prove it. lol > > > > But a neat feature for DXB could be to automatically set vfo B to > > up 5 on any DX Spot > > jump. lol > > You may bother some poor guy in a rag chew occasionally, but you > > wouldn't raise the ire of > > every frequency cop. lol > > > > A very well known (legend in his own mind) General Class 10 meter > > SSB op would scream > > bloody murder if he heard a (2 letter) call with wrong qrg. > > Then one day I heard him do it. > > Blasted him royal....lol > > And still reminding him, two years later...lol > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Jim McDonald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "FireBrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 9:24 PM > > Subject: Re: [DXBase] IC-756PROII VFO B not captured > > > > > > > And they don't want to add a command to clear the RIT. > > > > > > I still like the radio.
