Computer control is absolutely essential for a serious contest operator.  I 
rarely touch the knobs on either one of the two transceivers I use for SO2R 
contesting, with the exception of the main tuning knob.  Particularly for 
QSYing very fast, typing '14050' on a keyboard beats touching the radio 
every time.

Folks, can we introduce a little civility in the discussions here?  I'm not 
pointing fingers, but I have to say all the yelling back and forth is 
wearing a little thin, particularly when I feel compelled to read each and 
every message that its posted here (which I do, and have done since 1996).
