Will SmartSDR have a Lock Feature for Tx or Rx Frequency

It was very handy with PowerSDR to be able to Lock your frequency when in a Net or Qso so it was not accidently changed by mistake. I hope a Lock feature will be available in SmartSDR

    Would love to see a button on the FlexControl knob for "lock/unlock" toggling.

    I have changed this topic to an "Idea" for additional user comments.

    As someone usually busy doing things in the shack, I often use a radio's (or PowerSDR's software VFO lock button with the Flex-5000A). No worries if either mechanically something brushes the radio or the FlexControl, or if at the PC a Windows focus-control issue leaves me unexpectedly trying to change Frequency at the control end of software. With SmartSDR having multiple slices and receivers, would sure be a good strategy to be able to lock. 73 Steve K9ZW

    Since SmartSDR will have multiple receivers open, from time to time; I think a 'Slice Lock' would be better. In other words, the ability to lock a SLICE, not the whole panadapter. My $0.02 Mike WA6FXT

    I would love to have a lock button (or check box) on just the panadapter so that when I tune near the edge the whole panadapter does not shift. I want to set the panadapter bandwidth to only show the band segment I am interested in so as to not distracted by stuff on either side but I still want to tune to the edge.

    Both "Slice lock," and "master lock" would have their uses. I would like to see both in some form or another. Preferably an option in the Flex Control Knob configuration when they get that done..
