Excellent news Tommy!
How will the new interface deal with the MAIN/SUB switching issues?
Or will it be like the "norm" that most use ... follow the MAIN only?
>From the rough layout sketching I have done here, and from the info
from the Orion manual PDF file ... the question remains as to how to
fully capture the flexibility of ALL of the built in dual Orion switching?
As in both the MAIN and the SUB ... this is the same challenge that the
FT1000D faced, and most just defaulted into using the MAIN data to
drive the autoswitching ... that works, but limits the full use of the SUB.
Any thoughts on this?
Keep us posted, now ... if the software piece could be released ... B-)
