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

[K8JHR]

Yeah... me too... that is a very important point, Cecil.

That is why I use my Omni VII with N4PY software in "Radio State."  I 
like front controls, which is why I don't use a totally computer based 
solution like the Flex.

And yet, the real utility of a spectrum scope is the ability to 
manipulate the rig right directly using the graphic display of what the 
radios captures.   A band scope allows us to SEE activity across a wide 
range of frequencies, not just sample and hear one frequency at a time. 
  The question becomes:  what can we DO with the graphical display 
data... what can it DO for us?   And it seems most advantageous to be 
able to interact and manipulate the radio directly from the visual data, 
  i.e., to SEE a station or open frequency and, then, quickly tune the 
rig accordingly.   Unless we can USE the visually displayed data, it is 
a fun image, but NOT A TOOL for using the radio.


Happy trails - good stuff.
