WWV and Band Stack

Could we get the Band Stack button upgraded? It is a big mess. The button is poorly documented. It has a life of its own and makes it own changes which are confusing. It changes with the VFO A. It does not let me know which band I am on, or why it changed. I even managed to get the Add button to turn red. It would not reset so I had to restart Power SDR.

Some suggestions: Remove CHU from the stack by default. Identify each box, and give each box a purpose. Separate WWV setup from other functions.
Indicate which band you are using and make a band selection menu. Do not use right mouse click or mouse wheel clicking. Have the VBO display function for the RX2 receiver as a separate mode. Update the manual. Use hints on how to do things.

The Band Stack internal function is the same as any radio with band stack. When you hit the Band button, repeatedly, it cycles through that Bands Bandstack memories. LIke all Band Stacks, if you change frequency or band, that last Band Stack memory you were just on will be updated. So it can get very confusing. Thats why I made the Band Stack visible, but more importantly I added a "Lock" feature.
(If you hold your mouse over the visual Band Stack area you will get a tooltip help screen)
Right Click on any of the Band Stack memories and a Lock will appear so that memory cannot be overwritten


CHU has been removed from new installs with the current PowerSDR version, but if CHU is already in your database, you will need to use the Band stack DEL button to remove them.
