Set Power Level By Antenna or Slice Rather Than Band on 6600M

This is a great idea and would be a change I could benefit from!

Agree!! That is why I went with Flex!! Software Rules!! Robert

Joe and Mark;

Yes - I agree I could do it with profiles but it would be clunky as you say. There are quite a few combinations considering all the bands between  160 and 10.  Of course, certain combinations like 80 / 10, 160/15, etc could probably be ruled out.  Still, I could easily come up with at least a dozen combinations that would be viable during a contest.

I would like to be able to keep running on one band (e.g. 20M on  ANT 1)  while moving around between other bands on ANT 2).  If my solution was to load another dual slice profile, it would mean my run frequency would change on 20M when I load the profile and I would have to quickly QSY back there hopefully without losing a beat.  

When contesting, I do not use the SDR software on the PC.  I use the front panel on the 6600M.  It would take a number of finger operations on the front panel to change profiles.  Then I would have to return to my run frequency.  When contesting with the 6600M, I usually change bands by clicking on the band list in the N1MM entry window.  Quick and easy.


Using multiple profiles to do this would certainly work but it would not be very convenient..
