1) Implementation of Yaesu-style VFO/Sub RX/Audio Mixer control: 

                  Left           Right 
     FR0       VFO A/Main      VFO A/Main      ; "normal" 
     FR1       VFO A/Main      VFO A/Sub Rx    ; "diversity" 
     FR2       VFO A/Main      VFO B/Sub Rx    ; "dual" 
     FR3       VFO B/Sub Rx    VFO B/Sub Rx    ; "transceive B"  

     FR "number"/"level" appears as the "v" byte in the IF status. 

2) Eliminate the prohibition against using the FM filter for 
   AM/ESSB transmit. 

3) Monitor level by mode and by headphones/speakers 

4) Set/Get for TX EQ and RX EQ to allow directly reading/setting 
   all 8 bands are one time). 

5) SL/SL$; and SH/SH$; to allow direct Set/Get of LO cut and 
   HI cut frequencies. 

73,
