Wayne,
I would like to be able to erase entries from PF1 and PF2 instead of having to overwrite these memories.  Please consider putting this on the list.  Thanks  Roy Morris  W4WFB

Why, Roy?  Surely if you do not want to use the PF1 and PF2 buttons you
could just fill them with the firmware versions.  Leaving them blank
does not serve any useful purpose and I do feel there are other things
on the list that could be given higher priority.

Please tell us the reason you need PF1 and PF2 to be blank.

I agree...  But when I asked for the ability to erase memories Wayne
told me he didn't understand why I would want that ability when I could
just over write the memory location with something else.  But when he
made it so a lot of people started taking a lot more liberties with
memories and really liked that new feature.  

Personally I'm more for being able to NULL out CW memories but I suppose
I can always just set them to only send "E".  

Granted there are much higher priority things and so far I've been very
pleased with Wayne's prioritizing so I'm content to just leave things in
his hands.  Although I do hope that now that the Sub RX is on its way to
becoming an item that the DVR isn't too far off. :)

I have a few minor things for the wish list too.

- a separate on/off  possibility to save more parameters for each band and
antenna such as:
- ATU / bypass
- power level
- PA out (not available)

I also would like to have the DATA MD menu setting behave like the TEXT DEC
setting for CW. Turning to the left should always have the same value, DATA
A or so, and turning to the right should maybe result in 31 BPS PSK. The
TEXT DEC setting for data modes could also be left OFF and right ON.

I'm with Roy. If I have a system in state A and I fiddle with it and get it
into state B, I want to be able to get back to A. Even if the difference is
trivial and doesn't matter in the slightest. Is there a good "reason" for
this? No. It's likely a mild form of obsessive compulsive disorder. I should
probably be seen by a psychiatrist.

Or it could be that I've dealt with so much software over the years, with
all kinds of bizarre interactions between seemingly unrelated things, that I
no longer believe that there is such a thing as an unimportant difference.

And by the way, should anal retentive be spelled with a hyphen?

Probably only as an adjective... ;-)
