Not having a perfect diversity set up here at my QTH, I can say that all of your "first hand experience" both as an amateur and as a professional differs from my personal findings. So we'll have to agree to disagree. As you see, I am not attacking you personally, or even saying that you are wrong, simply that I disagree with your knowledge based on my personal use with MY particular set ups.
As for not wanting to "screw up everyone's" diversity mode, well, I would suggest that you also request that the RIT, XIT, Notch and Split button all get removed from your rig as well. After all, any one of those buttons can easily put your rig in a state where you're unable to receive or transmit on it's intended frequency. Therefore it could potentially make communications un-useable on your rig. Imagine if the Notch was accidently turned on and the selected notch freq. was sitting right in the middle of your pass band. As you already know, you would now hear NOTHING.. Just like the cancelation that you fear so much could happen with the Mixer mode enabled in the config menu, should one voluntarily and purposefully turn it on.
Having an option that can be disabled by a config menu is no different than any of the above buttons I've just talked about. For those of us that will find this feature useful I would rather YOU not be the deciding factor as to whether or not it is available for my use.
It fact, as I pointed out to you in private e-mail, it was Lyle in his last post to us that suggested "who is he" to be the "Silicon police" and it's not his place to decide who can do what with their rigs. I don't recall naming you directly Joe. I'm sorry that this has become such a difficult thing for you to discuss.
Eric, I would suggest that this is the right time to end this thread... It's obvious that some have become so agitated they can no longer have a rational discussion on the subject, it seems this may have escalated to an emotional level for some. Thank you for allowing the extra few posts.
