Hi Lou && Everyone;
Their was a gentlemen by the name of Cliff who worked for Kenwood Amateur
Tech Support.
He tried to get this very idea put through however, he was not successful.
It just goes to show that the manufacturers are somewhat aware of what we
want.
I wouldn't be surprised if manufacturers monitor this list from time to
time.
