VFO Flags

VFO Flags

Each receiver has a flag on the panadapter, SmartSDR style: the antenna, filter, active DSP, mode, frequency and an S meter, and a TX marker on the transmit VFO.

Tuning

• Mouse wheel over a digit: tunes by that digit.
• Mouse wheel elsewhere: tunes by your tune step.
• Click the frequency: type one, then press Enter (Esc cancels).
• Click TX on the other VFO: make it the transmit VFO.

The tabs under the flag

AUDIO, DSP, MODE, RIT/XIT, VAC and FREEDV open a drawer under the flag with those controls. Click the tab again to close it.

Keeping the flags out of the way

• See-through: flags are see-through until you point at them, so spots and markers behind them show. Set how see-through in Setup > Appearance > Kainos > Slice flags.
• Drag a flag by its face to move it down the panadapter; it still follows its VFO.
• Pin a flag anywhere: drag it sideways and it stays where you drop it instead of following its VFO, with a gold pin on it. Drag it again to move it. Click the pin, or double-click the face, to put it back on its VFO.
• Flags off: set Setup > Appearance > Kainos > Slice flags to Off (VFO tab only) for no flags on the panadapter, just the VFO line. The right-hand column's VFO tab then has the flags' tab row too, and each tab's drawer (AUDIO, DSP, MODE, RIT/XIT, VAC, FREEDV) opens in the column.
• One line: click the A or B on a flag to shrink it to one line (mode, frequency and TX). Click it again for the full flag.

Split

With SPLT on (and RX2 off), the VFO B flag shows SPLIT (or QUICK SPLIT) and sits at VFO B's frequency on the panadapter.
