Scott....
I agree with what you are saying about SO2R. I don't use the N4PY radio
control software and don't know if it handles contesting or SO2R, but I
sure agree that contesting software IS essential for contesting. I just
haven't learned yet, if something like the N4PY software would fit into
the category of contesting software?

Subject: [TenTec] Computer control
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).
