Computer control is absolutely essential for a serious contest operator. I
rarely touch the knobs on either one of the two transceivers I use for SO2R
contesting, with the exception of the main tuning knob. Particularly for
QSYing very fast, typing '14050' on a keyboard beats touching the radio
every time.
Folks, can we introduce a little civility in the discussions here? I'm not
pointing fingers, but I have to say all the yelling back and forth is
wearing a little thin, particularly when I feel compelled to read each and
every message that its posted here (which I do, and have done since 1996).

I doubt that a serious DX'er or contester uses control programs for
their operations, therefore, again, the radio should work stand-alone.
