when clicking on different entries in the cluster view, I can easily tune my transceiver to the correct frequency by just a double click. When this involves a band change, a re-tune of my CG3000 antenna tuner is necessary. This should be done at low power and with a mode that actually transmits a signal, even without NF input from the microphone, e.g. FM, AM or CW. Unfortunately, there is little support for that in Log4OM, so I always end up in a complex series of steps on the clumsy buttons of my transceiver. (Yes, I know, at least the mode can be changed on the CAT screen of Log4OM)
I would like to see a single button to tune my antenna on the main view that executes a series of actions:
- On press, change mode to FM, AM or CW (configurable), lower HF power to a configurable value and press ptt
- If possible, while button is pressed, show SWR value. A decimal number display would be perfectly fine here, no need for needles, gauges, whatever.
- On release, release PTT, change mode back to original mode, restore power setting. The last SWR readout should be kept.
(to my understanding, that all can be done via cat)
I would be very glad if you could consider this.
Thanks in advance

• Will the defined hotkey just send a tone or will it also reduce the transmit power?
• In my setup, only in data mode, my ft891 will accept audio from the computer. In SSB mode, only the microphone is active. So tuning fails, if the transceiver is set to SSB as the tone coming from computer audio is not sent out, which means almost no signal at all in SSB.
