But, not everyone uses F1/F11 for CQ. I use F2, for example. I'd
prefer the logger not force a specific Fn key to be CQ.
I doubt that would be a serious problem ... even if a %x command
were developed to turn off Net and allow the user to decide when
it should be disabled.
Net ON is an issue for me because I don't want my Run frequency
moving around +/- 60 Hz. OTOH, if one zero-beats the desired station,
it won't matter.
It doesn't matter at all if one is using FSK instead of AFSK. I'm
still of the belief that FSK should be preferred in any case as I've
heard too many simply atrocious AFSK signals.

On the other hand, G3YYD has previously suggested that
software using 2Tone use the RXM_Switch command to turn off
Net when calling CQ (F1/F11 in Writelog). That could easily
be complemented by turning Net ON if the transmit frequency
changes by more than 500 Hz or 1KHz. That would result in
Net OFF when running (call CQ, Net goes off) and Net ON when
in S&P or jumping frequency to grab a multiplier.
Yes, if/when this function is implemented in WriteLog. But, not everyone
uses F1/F11 for CQ. I use F2, for example. I'd prefer the logger not force
a specific Fn key to be CQ.
In any case, Net ON/OFF is not a significant issue since
2Tone limits the AFC range to not more than about 50 or 60 Hz
(depending on version) from the preset Mark (or Space).
