[Elecraft] Notch control

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

YES, Ian, YES!

I support your idea and when thinking of it....another one about the
Notch controls.


The situation now is, that when the manual notch is switched on, and the
notch freq is on the VFO B display, I cannot move the VFO A!!
I first have to tap the DISP button or the Notch again. In case of
touching either button, the manual notch stays on.


How about this solution:
Tap Notch: auto notch comes up
Tap again: auto notch switches off.

Hold Notch: manual notch comes on , as it is now, and notch freq visible
in VFO B display, and you are able to move VFO A
Tap Notch again: Notch switches off and VFO B display goes back to
normal
If you want the normal VFO B display again and manual notch stays on,
tap DISP

AND: So VFO A is always unlocked during this.

A minor "usability" issue...

Tapping NOTCH once engages "auto" mode, then a second tap goes to
"manual", then a third tap turns notch off. That's all OK... except when
I tap once to "auto", then, a short while later, the lid who was
throwing a carrier goes away, I tap the button again, and expect it to
turn notch off, but it still cycles into manual mode, requiring a
further tap.

Sooo... perhaps if auto mode has been engaged for more than a second or
so, a single tap could turn notch off, instead going to manual mode?

Actually, thinking about it some more; maybe manual mode should only
come into play on "hold" instead of "tap"?

I imagine other would have different preferences, though....

Comments?
