I vote for another column of buttons like those for CW SSB and SWL. 
Maybe call it Digtl for digital. Instead of a freq. range like the 
others, it would just take a point - like 14.070. Or....it seems to 
me when the program was first designed. modes where well defined. You 
had your CW portion and your SSB portion. But now, the CW portion can 
be split with an island of Digital Mode in the middle. Problem is, 
when  you key in the frequency and it is in the middle of the CW 
min/max frequencies, the mode jumps to CW.

So it looks like the logic has to be reworked a little to allow for 
the split and provide the same clear graphics. Like the CW portion of 
40M in green tic marks up to a defined "bottom" of a digital segment, 
then another color for the digital segment (or special tic mark if 
single frequency) up to the digital Max for that band, then the tic 
color changing back to CW green (or is it blue).

My point is - instead of different band modes living side-by-side 
with non-overlapping start/finish points, now you have modes spliting 
the band segment of other modes - like CW and digital modes/segments. 
It would be great if a new version addressed that in the frequency 
display and "convenience" buttons.

73,
Paul
