I'll agree that automating the freq cal would be good.
It's not real simple to make it foolproof. Since it's a linear correction I
think only two or three points at most are needed just using WWV and one AM
station would be good but not necessary. The AM station would have to be
manually entered unless we came up with a searchable list based on your grid
location. Or some other "in your face" prompt to force you to enter one.
The default Freq Cal stations int the AM band should be removed as they could
easily overlap in places and provide bad results.

The following come to mind:
- Phase and amplitude equalization for MSK144. (We/I need to fix the refspec
part of this, and also write up some docs)
- SWL mode for MSK144 allows third-party monitoring Sh-message QSOs.
- Enhanced frequency management scheme (Bill should contribute the proper
description).
I still think that it would be very useful if we could further automate the
fmeasure/fmtave/fcal stuff so that it is as simple as pushing a button… But
realistically, that may be something for when the snow is flying.
