THIS sub-thread (pan adaptor / scope / etc.) within the O3 features thread
is probably the area where the opinions differ the most.
James wants a computer so he can do more stuff.
Cecil does not.
I'm sure there are hundreds of us in one camp or the other.
I think we all agree on most of the legacy radio features.
But with the Pan Adaptor we're all over the map.
What should Ten-Tec do?
Simple: build the panadaptor external to the radio.
Once it is external, it can be any size, have any features, be changed at
any time, etc.
It can have a VGA port, CAT connection, You name it!

OK by me.
But ... if it is connected to the computer, you could easily write software
to allow you to interactively tune the rig with a mouse or keyboard action,
and I suspect it would be more difficult to do that with a rig-monitor-only
solution.
I would kidnap N4PY and coerce him into writing a neato interactive control
application for it. Like in his existing program. You click on a signal
peak on the graphic screen, and, VOILA, the radio tunes to that frequency
/signal... and,... optimally, tunes and makes the call using a bank of
recorded contact voice keyer sound files, and then logs the contact in your
favorite log book, and emits a sound cue indicating it
is ready to make another contact. (OK... perhaps I have gone too far
in my imagination...) ;-) ;-)
So... would your solution be interactive... or do we not need that?
Interesting stuff.
