Well, OK, if it makes Bob happy I will "go along".. anyway I am making no progress on this topic at all, so I have to move along to other issues. I just will clarify, again, my position on this. I fail to see the usefulness of the "feature", to me all it is is a distracting flickering jumble with very little useful information transferred to the user. Specifically why I feel this way is that, to me anyway, when I look at this element of the display, and try to discerned any useful information from it, I am lucky to catch an occasional number here and there, and *only* if that number is on the display long enough for persistence of vision to allow it to travel to my brain. The rest of the fast moving numbers (too fast for vision and brain) just sit there and flicker around. It is not unusual for anywhere from a 1/2 a second to 3 or four seconds to pass before I can "catch" another complete number. How can that possibly be "useful" by any reasonable definition of the word? A suggestion was made in the Feature tracker, to allow a variable user defined "peak hold time" to be applied to this display. I fail to see why that suggestion has caused so much rancor on this reflector. I thought it was an excellent solution. It is a one size fits all, win win. For those of you that have eyes from the head of Mr. Clark Kent you can set the hold time to Zero, and for old men, like me, I can set the hold time to something like 500 mils. -Dan K6KDK _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
