RIT issue

[James Hall]

I’ve been playing with the RIT and ways to engage it. It works fine if I use the CTL key and hold it down and use the mouse wheel. If you don’t use the CTL key and move the mouse wheel, it will disengage RIT and move the green square (the Doppler pair).

Now trying the right click method, I can see the RIT engage on top of the green square, but I can’t move it with the mouse wheel - it will disengage like above. It would be nice if, when turning on RIT with the right mouse click, I could then use the wheel to tune the station in after calling a CQ. Right now, the right click just turns it on or off and that’s it.

The RIT function is designed to work as you described. Even if you enable RIT with a right-click, you still tune the RIT by spinning the mousewheel with Ctrl key pressed, and tune the main frequency when Ctrl is not pressed. I tried to change the effect of mousewheel spinning depending on the RIT state, as you are suggesting, but this caused so much confusion that I changed it back to its present form.

Yea, I was trying to demonstrate this while recording with an iPhone … but I needed a 3rd hand !

Alex:

If we’re planning on using the CTL-ALT-SHFT keys for command items, may I suggest one that might be useful.

ALT-Mousewheel could be used as a course tuning adjustment of say 10x. Or it could be a user custom amount in Settings. Also CTL-ALT-Mousewheel would do the same for RIT.

I can do this. Meanwhile, try spinning the mouse wheel over the RIT Offset input box.
