Feature Request for Spectrum/Waterfall Display


 

I would like to see some macro buttons added to the right side of the spectrum/waterfall window similar to the way you have the fequencies on the left side. ?I have several K4 macros I use to set the waterfall display depending on the mode I'm working. For example,on FT8, I have a macro to move the FT8 frequency to the left side of the waterfall and set the span to 30khz. ?This way I can see the main frequency, say 28074, and the frequencies that the DXpedition stations usually use. ?I also have macros for CW and SSB. ?While not directly related to DXkeeper, but to panadapters in general, ?I have macros that will turn dual on (VFO A and VFO B) panadapters. ?I have a macro that will toggle the K4 external monitor from mirroring the radio display to only displaying the panadapter. ?I have other macros that are related to the panadatper.
?
It would be nice to be able to put any macros that are panadapter related on the spectrum/watgerall display. It would be an easy way to access them. ?I am aware of the macro buttons on Commander but I have the panadpter on a different monitor. ?Having macro buttons on the panadapter would be more convenient.
?
Just a thought.

+ I suggest that you place Commander's Main window on the same monitor as its Spectrum-Waterfall window. Then it will be easy to access Commander's user-defined sequence buttons and user-defined sliders when using the Spectrum-Waterfall window.

I sometimes operate from other parts of the house via AnyDesk mainly working FT8. ?I want Commander on the same screen as WSJT-X/JTAlert as well as DXKeeper, DXView, SpotCollector and PathFinder. These are the programs I use most and want to access them without having to switch screens in AnyDesk. ?There is no room for the panadapter.

+ If I were to start making copies of functions from one DXLab window to another DXLab window to optimize one user's experience, the process would never end until there was one giant window containing every DXLab function - the user interface model I sought to avoid when I first created DXLab.

+ It sounds like you need a larger screen for your "around the house" operations.

I'm not sure it would be just for me but I figured that would be your answer.

I guess I need a 32 inch laptop. :-)

+ Most laptops can drive an external monitor. My Lenovo X1 drives an external Dell monitor.
