[Dx4win] ver9

[John Shaw]

If you make this feature available please make it an option in the preferences so it can be enabled or disabled.  Unless you can fix the way DX4WIN handles a radio not been present all the time.  While it might save one keystroke it will cause many putting out fires because a radio is not always switched on when booting DX4WIN because it can't handle no radio present without stopping the radio function, then it has to be started again.  Some logging programs handle this much better than DX4WIN and it isn't a problem but that is another story.

I echo K4WI’s request that an option  be provided in DX4WIN to avoid having to press F9 every time the program is started so the auto atu is set for the particular frequency and the program is ready for entering a QSO. I think this should be the default and should be fine for most people using the program. I find it a nuisance to have to press F9 every time I switch on my radio and the program before I can start operating.
