Hmm. For consideration:

* I'd like to see an accessory panel with remote switches. Single 
switches to remotely send message memories, switch antennas (and RANT), 
and perhaps tune the radio (a la TenTec's remote tuning knob). This panel 
would be on a pigtail that can be mounted close to your hands, away from 
the radio.

* An accessory device that breaks out signals indicating the bands used 
would be really nice. Especially for SO2R or M/2 setups to switch 
antennas and/or filters in line when bands are changed.
