I guess the simple answer would be:  whatever
functions aren't currently accessible with a single
button-press.  I've often thought of trying to do
something like this for my AOR AR-7030 receiver, which
has a rather extensive menu system that you access
with only a few buttons.  It would be nice to have
everything accessible with its own dedicated button.

Seems to me that this could be easily implemented with
a small keypad and something like a Basic Stamp to
read the button presses and create the appropriate
serial output that the K2 would read.
