optional enabled through check box a second tune option with a new power level that the user can select? why? tuning tube amplifiers. first button as usual for the antenna tuners etc, then the second button raises the power level to high power for final load tuning on amplifiers. right now i have to find and change mode to fm to be able, since the cw dont tx with no key, otherwise, next best is allow cw to tx a carrier with the ptt input?

second related thought, can the tune buttons become "press and hold" so if something goes wrong, simply letting go of the mouse turns it off? i had fun scrambling for the button with my mouse while I had a high swr one day. even if some users wouldnt like it, it could be selectable in the software setup if you prefer momentary or toggles on tune buttons.

3rd point, can the mox also be selectable to be momentary if user desired? bigger even? for users on laptops with no external devices on remote. I think I would like it?

thanks, MN

    RE your first point, you can just turn up the tune power in Smart SDR. Move the slider to give more power?

    Or you could create a couple of TX profiles, one with Tune at 10W and one with it at 80W and just switch between them, if you don't want to move the slider each time.
