If I may put my two cents in: No clue why, but only last weekend in the
CQ 160m CW we had the issue with the pot on the Mk2 came up too in our
team. I thought that I had forgotten to tick the setting. :-)
It would really be nice to have a real two way sync, in the mean time we
are all primarily used to push ALT+F9/F10 or press ALT+V. It would be a
shame to lose these keys' functionality to just enable the pot.
