David,
I can't make any committments about this at the moment. I can certainly see
the advantage of looking at what Summary window is active and using that
information. But, there was never any code put in place to do this and make
any comparisons of what window is active, is there a beam heading and if so
use that otherwise default to something else. That's code that doesn't
exist. Will see.
Regards,
Jack

>> Thanks for your input. Following some testing today I find that the Rotor

>> EU068 on IOTA shows Bearing of 178.3 (Short Path) but on activating rotor
> it stops at 120 degrees on Short Path which is the HF Country bearing.
>> EU035 on IOTA shows Bearing of 61.7 (Short Path) but on activating rotor
it
> stops at 225 degrees on Short Path and to 10 degrees Long Path
>> Jack, If you are following this thread can you issue a patch as this

>> Many Thanks to all - It's still the best progam around.
