The way NA handles rovers is thru a feature called "QTH Must Match For
Dupe". When this feature is enabled, the grid field as well as the
callsign field must match before the QSO is scored as a dupe. There is no
need to append a /R or the grid to the callsign to make the scoring come
out right.
As for the radio interface, recent versions of NA correctly interpret VHF
frequencies on the IC-706, IC-746 and IC-756. One difficulty to wrestle
with is how to handle HF radios being used as an IF for transverters? I've
thought of providing a optional frequency offset table for each band to
allow handling transverter operation. OTOH, what about the radios such as
the TS-850, FT-1000MP or TS-570 which allows resetting the radio display to
the "operating" frequency rather than the "transverted" frequency? Does
anyone know what happens under these conditions - which "frequency" is sent
out the radio port?
