[TenTec] USER INTERFACE: Wish List for ORION-III

[K8JHR]

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.
