Imagine taking a main tuning module and placing it towards the left. Take those archaic plugs for the mic, headphones and key and get them away from that all important left side control position. Put them out of the way at the bottom right hand corner. Individual 6 pin modules with concentric knobs  could be placed in a matrix on the front panel, and software could be the tool to activate that position as a user selected control function position (a USCFP).
