Good grief! That reminds me of the old Omni V which had no RIT. TenTec used
the same logic and it only lasted through one model number.....The main pain
about this is when you tune off and forget to double tap then call CQ half a
band away. Yes I had separate tx and rx back in the old days but even that
was easier than all this button tapping.
ZUT CW Forever etc. tap tap tap tap! The key, not the buttons!
