[WT-support] voice recorder

[Stephen J. Schrack]

For what it is worth, a badly needed feature is improved "Available Mults &
Q's" window. I would like to see at a glance what is going on on the other
bands as well as the one I am on.  Using N1MM as an example with one quick
glance I can tell what bands are opening and hot and switch either radio
with a single click to check on activity.  Also when working someone, a
quick glance shows a color coded mults needed, so that I can pass the
station to another needed band.  While the mults window is in Win-test, it
does not give me the information at a glance.  You can display current band
or all bands or selected bands.  Unless I am missing something, one has to
right click and change one or more selections.  Instead how about displaying
the current selected radio's band and then having an indicator visible that
shows what is happening on the other bands.  Just a request and not a
comparison or slight to Win-Test.
