sometimes I use N1MM (only from my club). Basicly, I don't like this feature in both direction. If we will touch this part of code of Tlf, may be it could be good to disjoin the directions: - op could configure, if he types a callsign (and do something which triggers the add function, eg. tune the VFO up/down minimum 1kHz), then callsign will be added - op could configure, if Tlf uses rigctl, and it gets the freq which exists in bandmap, then the callsign (which is on that freq) will be added back to callsign field More features, if we will touch the code: - bandmap columns scrolling: now there are 3 columns for bandmap, but on most contest, these are very few for the number of competitors. It could be good, than Tlf follows the freq of TRX, and detects that the freq leaves the freq of last station in first column, then shifts columns to left - mark the nearest stations on bandmap with different background (or something else), or if there isn't any station between N kHz, then mark the previous and next nearest (with other sign) Other ideas are welcome. > I was thinking of trying to write something like > that as an add-on Python program. How do you think about it? What do you think about the "add-on" program?

I've used that on WAE, and Tlf showed the number of QTC's, what a station gave me - that was a _very_ big help.
