VFO/memory operation is done pretty well on the Kenwood TS480 and TS570, I don't know why if Elecraft can crib their serial comms protocol they can't also use their memory arrangement too... For those who haven't used one of these Kenwood radios, there is a V/M (VFO/memory) button... When in memory mode when you rotate the multi-knob the radio behaves as if it was crystal controlled and allows you to listen to each stored memory in turn without any messing around and no need to store a "*" in the memory name or press a further button to listen to the memory content. There is also a "quick memory in" button that stores to 5 memories which also can be accessed by rotating the multi-knob. On a K3 the RIT knob may serve as a multi-knob.
I guess that without a new front panel we will still have a poor user interface as regards VFO and memory control. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
