QMX+ firmware feature request


 

I'll start by saying I think if this as a "nice to have" change:
?
I use a manual antenna tuner and the built in SWR bridge is great for checking the state-of-tune. In a (my) "perfect world", the "Tune SWR" would present a full width, bottom line, bar graph of the VSWR, rather than a single number. It's hard (for me) to spin the tuning knobs looking a flickering numbers.
?
Just a thought.
?
Thank you Hans for producing such a great radio!

just a quick and quite possibly ill-considered thought ..
?
.. would it be possible and useful to have a sidetone frequency shift as the SWR changes?? E.g. the lower the frequency the better the match?? Stepped tones perhaps.

Would having the SWR sweep on the QMX display satisfy your need?
I asked Hans for this a while back but I'm not sure if he read my request (busy guy).
It seems that SWR sweep is the only terminal mode feature that is not available on the QMX display.
?
Hopefully, one of these ideas makes it onto his TBD list.

My follow-on suggestion may get some pushback but I'll throw it out there...
?
I'd like "Tune SWR" to be a top level menu item, or at least be optionally at the the top level, and the first item that pops up when I go into the menu. Reason: easier band hopping. Now, it's buried several levels deep, for a tool that's used frequently and repeatedly.
?
(perhaps there could be a toggle for this for anyone who prefers not to have it there)?
