The key part of this is "USERS and Paul".  Granted, the command structures 
of the Yaesu and Icom radios are fiendishly complex, but when I read 
someone complaining about how a K2 or K3 isn't adequately supported, I have 
very little sympathy.   We have, under Files|Databases|Radios, a complete 
development environment for editing, creating from scratch and testing all 
the rig files one could want.  If there is something in the radio's command 
list that isn't now supported, why not add it, and share your contribution 
with the user community?
