<div><br></div><div>for prior discussion re. PSK support (some comments from over 4 years ago).</div><div><br></div><div>As for SO2V support, there is some demand for that feature, but note that it is impossible to support in some radios such as Icom, which provide little information about the status of VFO B. Note also that almost all transceivers can't hear a thing on VFO B while you are transmitting on VFO A, so you're better off putting a second radio on the same band with a well-separated antenna or band-stop filter. Then you can use using Ctrl-S (Radio Swap) as needed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please note that Win-Test has a feature to load spots into VFO B (Alt-Double-Click in band map). Try it.</div><div><br></div><div>I agree that it would be nice if you could use the secondary radio window and a separate bandmap to track VFO B, but development of such major enhancements to Win-Test seems to have ceased due to lack of time available to the two main developers, so until new developers are given access to the source code, I don't expect any such features to be implemented any time soon.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm just grateful that the busy Win-Test developers have any time at all to fix major bugs. And I am also glad that Win-Test is a very stable and reliable program that could be made a lot less stable and reliable if too many enhancements are added too quickly.</div>
