I will look further into both of your comments...
The tick box placement is easy - it is just about a real estate agent's three dream words : location, location, location... Or finding enough space.... In reality, I wasn't going to make it optional initially. It was just going to be the newer format but I realised some users might actually prefer the original 'cleaner' presentation. Hence the tick box.
The retrieved data files contain a frequency string { eg frequency="10136466" } so it is easy enough to process that but where do we present that info ? An extra column after Mode ? Before Mode ? Joined into an existing column - which one ? (eg 30mFT8)

Haven't revised the second view as yet..
Yes, I have: see attached image

Do we just abbreviate it by band in Metres (eg 15, 17, 20, 30..) or frequency in MHz (eg 3.5, 7, 10, 14..) ? I note that PSK Reporter uses designators like 160m, 80m, 60m, 40m but since I have to do the conversion to band or MHz from the Hz frequency string anyway, I can present it almost any way you like.
I am open to implementing improvements in the software based on feedback received.
Anyone else have comments or suggestions before I start work on Colin's ?
