Not Displaying the Frequency....


 

...When tuning.

The tuning of the T41 ( V12, I2C front panel, I2C encoders ) is unpleasant. As you tune around, you get tiny
blips of sound, interspersed with long display updates. You basically cannot hear what you're tuning past.

I just tried commenting out the bit of code that displays the frequency as you tune. Tuning is much better.
There is still a burst of nasty noise with each encoder *tick*, but it's short, and you can easily hear what you're
tuning past.

Naturally, that's not a real fix. The instant you start tuning, the frequency display is wrong...and that's just wrong!

What would be a fix? A few things: First of all, we *could* do a timer thing where we don't bother to display
the frequency until we stop tuning. There was tuning, and now there isn't? Ok, display where we got to. Still not optimal.

I note that it always updates ALL the digits of the frequency, even those that haven't changed. It even
redisplays the VFO B frequency. Surely it doesn't need to update all that.

Also - I wonder why on earth the audio pauses or stops or gets discarded while it writes the display? Surely
audio interrupts can continue during this time....?
