Same here. I have a set of 6 pushbuttons in a circle with indicator lights to indicate which one is in use. They control beverages at 60 degree azimuth intervals. It is much more intuitive where I am pointing than a rotary switch. I also have random access, instead of sequential access. I have a 7th pushbutton in the center for an omni antenna. The advantage of this over a rotary switch in a contest is huge. Rick N6RK _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband |
