4.  Instant 'wish list' - to be able to switch between Preamp on and off =
without
having to go via attenuator on.

>>> Me Too!

to be able to cycle through the filters in reverse order, ie not to need =
three pushes to go back to 400Hz from 100Hz.

>>> Set Rates to 3r. It works great. (secondary menu. Go to Menu, hit =
Display, spin to rates).

Perhaps though I could code the PF1 and PF2 switches to do this?

>>> Probably you'll want one for Fast Play or Sidetone level, and the =
other for Scan Resume. Ther's only 2.

to increase the spacing between the tuning knob and the power knob, to =
prevent me accidently moving the power knob.

>>> Tune from the FRONT of the knob. Rest your fingers on the top, and =
spin with the thumb. Works great.

All in all a great rig.  I will not be starting the final assembly until =
later next week as I am demonstrating it at our local club next =
Wednesday and want to be sure it is still in a fit state then.

>>> Go for it. It'll work.=20
