Yup.  Roger that.  Thanks.  I don't yet have an FT-817/857 and was mostly
just curious how people were using them with transverters.  The sequencer
issue has always been a mystery for me... because I understand why it would
be needed but see so many people running without them that I had to ask
what the common practice really is.
