Feature Request: Lock two slices together
I've been using the Flex radio with the DEMI gear and successfully worked SATs.
Being able to see all the stations on the downlink is spectacular.
I am trying different software packages as well as FlexSATPC by David W0DHB.
With the Maestro I can lock two different slices together and move them with one of the knobs.
I would love to be able to Link two Slices together so I can move them with the Flex Knob or with the mouse at the same time. Ideally I should be able to link them to move on the same direction or in opposite direction.

Here is another idea that sounds like it may be related. The idea was to link 2 slices so that you could have one wide panadapter view to monitor the whole band and one narrow one for the station you are working. The idea would support "click tune" as well as tuning with the FlexControl or mouse.

What do you think, would this do what you need?

When working SATs you have to compensate for doppler effect. Currently I leave the TX frequency pretty much at a set frequency and I move the RX slice. With Full Duplex, the 6700 and all the DEMI gear I can hear myself on the down link and it is fairly easy to compensate. I use the Flex control and a very small step to give me a lot of control. But I do miss the possibility to SYNC or LOCK the slices like you can do on the Maestro. However, in the Maestro both slices move in the same direction, this feature request will also include the possibility of inverting the direction on one of the locked slices.
It will allow me to work SATs without having a software program do the frequency correction.

Locking 2 slices in SSDR would be nice. Sounds like it would provide the functionality requested in this idea below also if I'm understanding it correctly.

Here is a picture to illustrate one GUI idea for SSDR -- a new "synch lock" icon.
Thoughts? Would this meet the need?
