Carl,
It is nice to see reason on this reflector. I just want to say that your
software is great. I use it a lot, especially for digital modes with MixW
and for shortwave listening. You have a good product in N4PY.

On my 756pro, you can tune the sweep signals by watching the display move as
you tune from the radio. It is interesting to note that if you tune the
Orion II with my software, the sweep does not stop as you tune and you can
watch the screen and tune it in.
But what I find the easiest to do is to look at the sweep. If I see a
signal up 7 khz, I just mentally add 7 khz to the display and turn to that
frequency. This is really very easy to do.
