Dave, 
 
Many thanks for this suggestion, any idea where these microphone covers are easily obtainable through mailorder?
 
Am reluctant adding accessories and adding more functionality to the buttons: one of my "pet hates" is that of having to wade through untold menus. And it seems to me that when one is visually impaired it becomes a real handicap.
 
I have seen the KRC2ACC kit that will give full CW feedback of the rig and that is one item that I have been pondering over.
 
Resale value in our part of the world ain't very good for anything that is not from the land of the rising sun. 
 
As long as the end result "looks the part" and is reversible in one way or another then I do not worry too much about the resale value or what others think.
 
One thing I am trying to do is to maximize the return on the investment ( and adding more acessories means that I will be financially stretching myself... )
