Paul should put a link on the DX4WIN website for owner's to contribute 
their idea's to the "Wish List".

I sent an email to Paul 2-3 weeks ago with a suggestion and did not 
receive a response so I resorted
to the DX4WIN Reflector to BE HEARD.

Requesting some attention from the owner's of DX4WIN, the people who 
support the Owner, asking for
continuing improvements is not bad mouthing just to clarify.

That implies that new radios , new rotators or new COM to USB devices are not explicitly supported. If the IP owner chooses to modify the Version to expand the supported equipment environment, great. The same thing is true for logging/operating features. If the IP owner chooses to add them, fine.

Commenting on what you wish was present or even identifying an alternate product that has a feature you 'wish' was present seems reasonable.

It would be even nicer if someone had that list on a web site so it could be referenced by people. That might reduce duplicate postings about certain " not present yet" features.
