Rotor control seems to have improved a bit while I wasn't looking. The 
Setup | Ports dialog now admits that the Left rig might be the only rig 
and if you have two radios there are conditions under which the azimuth 
for the callsign in the Rig 2 entry window will be filled in to the 
Radio | Antenna to <nnn> Azimuth function. And if the Rig 1 entry field 
is blank and the cursor is there, the Antenna to Azimuth function will 
indeed turn the rotor to the azimuth of the call in the Rig 2 entry 
field. But that's too many "if's."  The program would be more useful in 
two-radio, single-rotator configurations if there were more flexibility. 
For example, there could be two Antenna to Azimuth functions and two 
Beam Headings windows, one for the Rig 1 call and one for Rig 2. 
Assigning them to two function keys, it would become easy to use the 
single rotor for either radio. This would be very helpful. Any interest?
