Was in a QSO today in slot 1. A separate application called for a frequency change (which the radio executed.) To get back quickly, I simply selected the QRG and then spun the vfo.
VarAC then popped a message that the QSO had exceeded the time allotment and sent a disconnect.
Had I hit the down slot button, it would have sent a QSYD, which would have caused the remote station to move down another 750.
Short of adding a non-QRG per band to the drop down, how can these scenarios be handled?
This may or may not be a bug, since VarAC thinks it is on a QRG when in fact it isn't. But at the same time, having VarAC get to the correct frequency isn't possible by using the up/down buttons, as they would send a QSY request.
If during a QSO you moved to the main QRG after the max time has exceeded - will result in this situtation.
To your questio - If you want to move around use the SLOT slider on the top left or the small arrows on the top left to move slots up and down without sending a QSY invite.
But still - if "something" changes your frequency during a QSO, and your first reaction was to get back on the CF, then this will sure trigger the time limit bomb and kill the QSO. So in those "rare" situtations, simply dial your VFO back o the frequency where you were having your QSO.
This is not a bug. archving.
