Re: Learned a Vaulable Lesson!!

Re: Learned a Vaulable Lesson!!
NOPE – Scott does windows only. But plenty of others who swore off M$ have successfully used MAC-OS or Linux, other stuff too I think. So for the people who can’t get a handle on MS-OD…..

Re: Learned a Vaulable Lesson!!
The great news is that for those who just can’t stand M$ - there is MAC-OS, Linux, and other stuff. No one is forced to use M$.

Re: Can the rig interface be suspended and reactivated while switching batteries?
Very good, Larry. That works!
This software always seems to have the capabilities I want, if I can just figure it out, or ask someone who already has.
Thank you!

Thanks for that reminder.
I had a similar situation and was logging the wrong info for some POTA hunting. Fortunately, I was able to recover the correct information via the POTA site.

I use Onedrive in my day job because it is standard on our corporate PCs and find it more useful than annoying there. The problem that we see as hams is due to the way OD introduces itself and kindly

If you have stored your rig settings (Cntrl-R, lower left) then a Cntrl-X should bring it back.?? If CW, do the same on the CW screen - Cntrl-W.
