Hi Bill
I am beginning to find ways around it. Like many other people, this change is
significant and different to what they are used to and that makes them feel
uncomfortable! Many are going back to RC2 rather than working their way around
it.
Without a doubt the LOCK frequency worked extremely well but I can also see
that those working in rare DX locations will really like the new feature.

If you don’t ask, you don’t get 😊
Kind regards

May I, however, raise a concern with RC3 which has changed the way the split
operation and selecting a frequency is achieved.
It is now required to use CTRL and a mouse click to set a frequency. This
requires 2 hands. Unfortunately there are many who are only able to use hand at
the same time due to disability. Stroke, loss of limb and in my case the need
to use a Monocular to see the screen. Therefore usability is greatly reduced in
this version in comparison to the previous version.
Hi Dave,
are you aware that double-clicking a decoded CQ or QRZ message, with "Hold Tx
Freq" cleared, will set both your Rx and Tx frequency to that of the caller,
i.e. simplex operation.
Both Tx and Rx frequencies can be set using the spin box controls on the main
window using only mouse clicks. Alternatively you can click on the waterfall
and then click the "Tx <- Rx" button to move the Tx frequency to the selected
Rx frequency.
All of the above can be completed with one hand on the mouse, even with one
finger if you have a track-ball or similar.
