smart phones and even tablets of 10"+ need a totally different interface compared to a laptop for sure.
If you look at how pRxTx+ or rcforb do their things, you see that for those handleds, lach of many controls on the main screen (or at all) is a good thing. Even if I run wfview on my tablet (10.5") I cannot control easily all the elements. RSBA1 is no different here. (no it’s not native, it’s nx nomachine controlled remoted)
Regaring RSBA1 – to me it’s not cluttered at all, it’s a very clean interface that changes depending on the rig connected. It has most controls almost directly available.
My personal belief is that many controls need to be available directly and all the set-and-forget controls
could be on pull down menus and/or separated windows.
@wa6jkn Kevin (ref Dual Passband Tuning (PBT) - #5 by wa6jkn) – you mentioned PBT to be for instance in a meno/drop down; I disagree on that because it’s one of the controls that needs to be directly available if needed. Some people don’t use it much, if at all; that’s fine. I use it regularly to cut off either side or move the whole passband up; cutting the filterwidth.
Having to select first a drop down/menu thing… nah, not for me.
A different thing would be the re-calibration of one of my roofing filters. That is something you do once in a while. So no need to hve it on the main screen.
going back on how rsba1’s UI is doing it’s work: it’s one of the best interfaces I have seen when it comes to controls and such.
I cannot think of what control can be left out to be honest.OK. maybe just one: VSC.
