The last thing you need is different people suggesting different, possibly conflicting approaches, so I'm out.

I hope you get it working. 😀

Ok at the finish line, had to update VFO function to ;

```auto
msg.payload = msg.payload.substring(0, msg.payload.indexOf("\n"));
if (msg.payload == "Sub") {
    msg.className = "text-cyan";
}
if (msg.payload == "Main") {
    msg.className = "";
}
return msg;

```

To get Main back to white on switch to Main (It was staying cyan)

Set change node to freq to ;

Set as advised by Steve
