While we are at it, yet another wish list:
1) APIs in the firmware for owner or third party designed
add ons
2) Fewer or no "two button" pushes, e.g. to turn AGC off
3) The simple menu strucure of the K2 has become rather
complicated in newer versions of the software, especially
with the KDSP
4) More bands in one box, e.g. 137 kHz, 50MHz, 70MHz, 144MHz
432MHz etc. (a larger box for a desktop radio is not a
bad thing)
5) A DSP-IF at something like 50kHz also with user APIs
6) General coverage only if it does not degrade performance
on the HAM bands
7) FM
8) True AM reception for BC stations (with a DSP this should
not be too difficult
9) An accurate meaningful S-Meter !!!
10) Continously variable bandwidth instead of four steps per
mode
11) More flexibility in the ATU, e.g. bypass on some bands
and not on others (a minor pet peeve)
12) Remote control of every button and knob (including RIT,
AF Gain, IF Gain, etc.)
13) Remote control via Ethernet & TCP/IP
