N2IC: Before you outlaw computer assistance, consider another example of
computer assistance -
Pressing the F1 key to CQ on one band while listening on another band. You
would have a heck of
a time doing that without computer assistance, wouldn't you ?
Try sending CQ on a paddle while listening on a second radio !
This could have been done in 1970's with memory keyers! PTT controls audio
switching.
My 1972 keyer had YU1PCF/YU1BCD callsigns option and serial number counter
up to 1999.
My 1991 robot idea was to scan bands in 3 kHz jumps and prepare bandmap. No
SDR software then.
There were less schizophrenic SO2R people in the hippie days! We had enough
radios in the club.
