This is by far the simplest and most logical solution but I get the impression that it is not desirable to make locking TX and RX simple forcing everyone into split operation for ease ?? Regards Dave Regards From: David Fisher [mailto:dsfis...@outlook.com] Sent: 19 October 2017 19

Hi Saku Thank you for your message. I agree with your views totally and have to accept that changes require me to adapt as well. I have no objection to the changes that have been made, simply that it was not necessary to make it harder for me to adapt. I wish you all the best. Kind regards D

Ria Thanks for your response I have spent the past 8 hours working with RC3 to try and get used to the new features. Yes there are ways around setting the TX frequency but it is somewhat frustrating when you have to do it constantly. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that, as a chaser, I

Dave, Things change with different versions. This change was well announced by Joe before hand and it was sort of a compromise to address a bigger problem - someone working someone else then "stealing" their frequency. One handed operation is still possible. It's just different steps. However it
