G'day Dan,
So, I take this to mean that when you open up your handheld, the first thing you do is change the range to 0-400 and then go get coffee while it loads the entire radio onto the screen?
Yep, I like to stress test things for you (and pass the stress back to you) :) And just to keep up with the Aussie stereotype it gives me time to go off and get a beer and a vegemite sandwich :) The beer also helps with testing, though it can add the odd eroneous message during the latter parts of testing.
Functionally this works, but it is quite slow.
Well, it's instantaneous on all the other radios, and it would only take a few seconds if you didn't have your view set to 0-400 :)
I guess one of the things that makes it more noticeable is that some other software only works in banks of 100 memories at a time, so it takes less time to resynch. That being said, for me personally, the advantage of being able to insert / delete a row that spans over 100 memories (before a gap is found) far outweighs the time factor and in reality probably takes less time than having to try and manipulate memories from one bank to another.
Try this on your 2820, and I'll see if I can come up with something I'm comfortable with to avoid the re-sync :)
No probs.
Cheers,
