Is there a way to adjust the "dwell" time when DSD hunts for a lost Control Channel? Technically it's a "Rest Channel" in the case I'm talking about. If the Rest Channel changes in a Cap+ system, DSDPlus will start searching for the new one. The problem is that many times the program cycles through the channels on the system so quickly that it just keeps missing when the Rest Channel beacons.

It would be good to be able to get DSDPlus to sit on the frequencies for a couple of seconds so that it doesn't miss the signal.

I've seen the same issue with Cap+ systems and haven't seen a setting for this. The problem is even worse if the signal is on the weak side.

Hopefully, someone will have a suggestion.

Hopefully, one of the developers will see this and maybe it can be added as a feature.

Same here also...weak signal Cap+ system.
Scan for lost channel is too fast to sync with new rest channel pulses.
I can turn off "hunt" and tune to new channel manually if I happen to be present but slower or adjustable scan would be helpful.
Thanks
