TX DISABLE interface paper cuts #524

Open thirtythreeforty opened 3 months ago

Hello, I have a minor usability request. When attempting to transmit on a channel with TX disabled (via whatever means, either the secret menu, or via the TX offset setting), a large message TX DISABLE covers the other useful information (memory name, frequency) on the VFO display for several seconds.

To me, it is not worth covering this info; it would be better to simply flash a small message (NO TX or TX DISABLE if it fits) next to the offset and bandwidth indicators.

Furthermore, accidentally keying up on a disabled VFO appears to prevent dual RX from functioning until the TX DISABLE message times out. If TX is disabled, I'd prefer that this button does precisely nothing, so that dual RX can still switch freely.

Thanks for the very nice firmware for this radio!
