Jim's n7js, Tuner - New Feature Curbs Vout!

Recently, folks using Jim's n7js Tuner, have insisted it be tuned to 3.678! This in spite of the fact that the Pahrump Receiver is DEDICATED to 3.678 (and/or THAT group, following them where ever they might go)!

Specifically, Vout, a long time SWL, who's affiliated with the group that USED to be (and apparently still is; it just has renamed itself) known as the Midnight Hams (or the Mental Hens) practiced this policy. Reason unknown. Other than it seemed she either likes 'control' or doesn't want folks to listen/record 3.840. Who knows.

This became such a problem, by tying up TWO tuners on one frequency, that Jim Southwick has inserted a direct 'link' button to the Pahrump Receiver, instructing folks that if they wish to listen to 3.678, they should 'click' the button.

Here is an example from the Chat at Jim's Tuner BEFORE the NEW Pahrump Link button and instructions were installed.


<1> Please go to Pahrump receiver to listen to this freq.
<1> may i tune?
<2> oh my...this is a communty radio remember?
<1> Folks can go to Pahrump to listen to 3765, it's dedicated.
<2> you can go there too
<2> jim's tuner is not dedicated to any freq...free for all

<1> Why don't u just go to pahrump to listen?
<1> U are one being rude.
<2> because im here
<2> TX looks like she is going to force her way again...sorry about that
<1> It is stupid to listen to 3765 HERE, when it's dedicated at Pahrump.
<2> tell someone who cares
<1> Why have 2 tuners on same freq?

And this went on nightly! So folks, if you wish to listen to 3.678 (or whatever frequency they move too), please don't use Jim's Tuner to do so!
