I noticed a "bug" this weekend at N5TW M/2. We had three machines
networked,
and on the bottom of the bandmap, there's a grey field of four of five lines
that shows for each band what the last frequency the radios were on, or if
they were (or are currently) in S&P mode on that band. The problem is that
this field apparently screwed up the arrow key movement in the bandmap. Every
column to the right of the leftmost column was offset by the height of the
multi field. (i.e. go into the bandmap, and hit the right arrow key twice.
This puts you on the eighth or tenth entry down of the third column instead
of putting you at the top of the third column.)
Also, I think it would be cool if, when the bandmap has more entries than
can be shown in all of the columns (happens on 10M a lot now,) if moving to the
right of the last column, the leftmost column would disappear and the rest
shift one column to the left, creating space for the next column on the right
(and of course, vice-versa going the other way.) i.e. make it a virtual window
that can slide back and forth as you pan through it. I imagine that this is a
low priority thing, as a) you can delete old entries you've already worked,
trimming the size of the map to fit, and b) in two or three years 10M will
be less of a problem anyway.... But it would be a cool thing.
