It's just that there's so many thing that computer programs such as mine can
make simple and fast. Like when trying to call a DX station and suddenly he
announces he is listening up 5. All I have to do is press my "up" key
followed by the "5" key. That makes my VFO B by 5 khz above my VFO A and
turns on split. All in one operation. I am almost always the first to call
when this happens. Or when I change bands everything gets restored to the
last values I had on that band even things like power output settings,
antenna settings, attenuators, preamps, and so on. And it's great to have
separate band register buttons by mode. I have a full set for CW, another
set for SSB, and a third set that can be defined for SWL bands or RTTY
sub-bands.
