On Wed, 2015-02-18 at 10:55 -0500, Joe Subich, W4TV spewed: Implicit in your statement is that the transceiver, automobile, roadway or whatever should make it impossible for the operator to have an accident. That's not possible - there are those who can break an anvil. ===
Untrue Joe... No where do I imply that it should be "impossible" for an accident to happen. In fact I infer just the opposite, that there should be safeguards. I infer it by use of sarcasm. You are again taking everything to extremes, then arguing that issue as if the originator of the statement also took things to extremes. Please read what was typed and respond to what was typed, not your translation of what was typed. On Wed, 2015-02-18 at 10:55 -0500, Joe Subich, W4TV sprayed the Internet with: The current design that *THREE* separate indications of split operation. Any *one* of those should be sufficient. *NONE* of the proposals do anything to address the real question which should be how to notify the operator that he *should be in split*. === Clearly you are not reading, or comprehending, what is being said here... Many Ops here have said, (repeatedly), that the radio is dropping out of Split for some reason, and they are not noticing it. Hence your premise that the Ops need to be told they "*should be in split*" is deeply flawed. Clearly there is an issue Joe... There are just too many people requesting a change. On Wed, 2015-02-18 at 10:55 -0500, Joe Subich, W4TV heaved up the following: The problem is that the operator *is not paying attention*. The correct approach would be: every time the operator activates transmit, the rig display should show a message that says "you are in transceive (simplex) - are you sure you should not engage split? Press XMIT to begin transmitting" === Again, using the Extreme card to make a point that just does not cut the mustard on it's own... For those of us that make mistakes Joe, (unlike yourself evidently), there is an issue here... -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net for MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info for Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info for MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info > > 73, > > ...
