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...)   ;-)      ;-)
