More changeable items during transmit

[Robert Brandon-2]

I love the ability to toggle RIT during transmit.

The next items on my wish list would be toggling the RX antenna, normalizing
the bandpass controls, and changing filters.  

Keep up the good work, guys!

I agree, although I have RIT on most of the time anyway.  What I really
appreciate is being able to adjust the RIT during transmit.  When someone
answers a CQ, I am busy typing in their call sign and not able to
simultaneously adjust RIT.  So, while my response transmission is going out
to them I can adjust the RIT.  I've already heard their signal and can
blindly adjust the RIT for optimum copy when they come back with their
exchange.  Then, my TU message (or subsequent CQ message) clears the RIT to
be ready for the next caller.

It would be good to be able to adjust WIDTH during transmit, too.  Like Ed,
when
someone answers a CQ, I am busy typing in their call sign and not able to
simultaneously adjust the WIDTH because someone just opened up close to the
frequency.
And it is nice to have the RIT on VFO B when the DISP button is toggled, it
would
also be nice to have the WIDTH available for display there too.  There are a
lot of
times that I wonder where the WIDTH is set.

Best of all is a TR-LOG feature that allows you to tap the shift keys to
bend the RIT -- then hit both to clear it.  This was a feature in the
Kenwood command set that Elecraft adopted.  I don't *think* any other
programs have this feature, but I could be mistaken.

Yes, moving RIT with the shift keys is handy too, but I've accidentally
shifted RIT with them active like that, so I personally prefer to use the
radio knob.  The shift keys allow your hands to stay on the keyboard,
though.

As for clearing RIT, I much prefer that the messages do that.  Most loggers
have a command that can be inserted in messages for RIT clear.  One less
manual operation to perform numerous times during the contest.

YES!  And the RX Antenna switch.
