<div>Don't we have this implemented on the frontplate of the radio ? ;)</div></blockquote></div><br>Yes we have an [A/B] button on the radio, but it is a lot of work to press it 150 times in a 4-hour Sprint contest (NA Sprint, EU Sprint, AP Sprint), where you have to change frequency every other QSO.<br>
<br>Also, if you are operating SO2V (CQ on one VFO, S&P on Sub-VFO, dual receive mode) in a "normal" (non-Sprint) contest, having a macro that you can program to Swap VFO's so you can quickly call a mult, then Swap again and call CQ would be much more convenient than trying to coordinate pressing the [A/B] button on the radio and then [F4] and then [A/B] on the radio and then [F1] again on the keyboard in the right order and with the right timing.<br>
<br>I was hoping there would be a new option to make [Ctrl-S] swap VFOs instead of swapping radios. I don't think many people use "Swap Radios" much, but I could be wrong. If you accidentally press [Ctrl-S], bad things can happen if your station is not capable of putting any rig and amp on any band automatically and instantly.<br>
<br>N1MM software seems to have first added a SwapVFO feature in Version 7.9.4 (September 16, 2007) via Alt-F10.<br><br>73, <br>Bob, N6TV<br>
