I found Wayne's
explanation on how to set up "channels" so you can instantly hop between them
useful as I want to use this feature on vhf.
I agree with Joe's comment
below and also when he says "When in 'channel
hopping' mode, it might be nice
to momentarily display the memory number and text label for a few seconds
in the VFO B area when changing channels".
However my main issue is how
to revert back to normal VFO operation (to tune up and down from the channel
frequency) once you've selected a "channel"? If you set up a channel with
VFO A=f1 and VFO B=f2, pressing A/B switches the rx to f2 as expected. But
rotating VFO A control switches to the next channel hopping frequency which is
rather unexpected.
I've been trying to think of a way round this. What I
think I would like is either (a) having swapped A/B as above, VFO A reverts to
normal operation; or (b) for VFO B control to be the "channel" control and VFO A
to tune normally up and down from the "channel".
Comments
appreciated.
