> -- VFO's are not receivers --
I kind of liked this idea. It was simple to grasp after a few minutes of
taking the time to understand it.
As someone else pointed out yesterday, there are good reasons for
bandwidth and/or pbt and even mode NOT to automatically transfer, and
for a VFO to be just a VFO as it was originally conceived.
Now I suppose that once all the cooks have added their bit of sasoning to
the soup I'm going to have to relearn how to use the radio, since it will be
THEIR radio and not MINE, unless all of this is menu selectable as
options. I suspect that not everyone buys into the traditionalist view of
what switching VFOs ... uh .. receivers ... uh .. VFOs? what? I'm
confused just thinking about it. :-)
(It was good the way it was)
