Larry,

No experience, but when I talked to the President Mike Mertel, or however 
his name is spelled, I think it has separate buttons for each band.

Also, if you have a newer rig, you can interface it to the Steppir 
controller and it will track by the rig's operating frequency.

What you can't do is tailor the pattern for max gain, for example, because 
that requires access to the visual display.

I suppose if somebody had the talent, you might be able to make a computer 
interface for it.

Steve, K8SP
