[Elecraft] Fwd: [FlexEdge] Field Day, Focus and Contest, Skins?

[Brett Howard]

Good tips!  I was wondering if turning all that off would work out for

I did find the collapsed views to be really nice!  And while I never use
the audio out of power SDR I did find it pretty slick that the new
interface follows your actual radio bandwidth.  Quite the slick little
setup!
