I feel quite comfortable operating my station remote from the shack in my
living room from time to time.
Before using TRX-Manager I was using wireless microphone and headset which
did not allow to qsy.

It seems to me that remote control operation, however challenging it may be
technically - or as a legitimate pursuit in its own right, is incompatible
with amateur- radio award chasing and contesting.

Why?  Because it replaces amateur-band RF with wired circuits and, by
definition, it requires the operator to be located away from the station.
