Some ideas...

Hi,
Some ideas to think about...
1- Remember QRG button:
Sometimes we are listening an interesting qso but if we receive in cluster a call to whom we need to contact, we double click and the transceiver goes into the frequency in order we can make the contact. After de contact, if we want to go back into the frequency we were before, it would be nice to have a "Remember Frequency button"; clicking on it we come back to the last frequency we were before.
2 - Cluster Scrolling - temporarily suspend incoming spots
When we are looking to specific information within Cluster lines, if there is spots entering it is dificult, because of lines jump. It would be nice, while we have mouse pressed (during the search), it suspends temporarily the incoming spots, and when we release the mouse, it works normally, without loosing the calls that had entered while we have mouse pressed.
3 - Cluster:
Let's have a look into the code colours in highlights, we have:
White = Confirmed/Worked in the same band
Green = Confirmed/Worked in other band
Red = Country not worked or confirmed -> Perfect it shows a real "new one" no doubt at all.
Meanwhile the white and green colour is not so clear, we can have a better information if we introduce a third colour - for example yellow - , we can distinguish what is confirmed, and what is worked. That way we could have green for confirmed, the yellow for Worked. With one more colour we have more information in cluster.
Just as an example permit me to refer to Logic, my last logbook, it has an interesting approach, it shows in red what we need, if we need the entity in the announced band, than the Band field is in red, however if we need only in the announced mode it shows red only in Mode field, in case both fields are in red, we know that we need this call in this band/mode.
Best regards to all.
