[Elecraft] Future Feature Request

[Roy Davis]

Thanks for the comments to all replied.  I understand Keith's viewpoint. 
But, Yaesu has this and has made changes where the items did not stay the 
same.  But I don't see updating the sheet a problem.  If they are able to do 
it to the firmware, I would think that each update would overwrite the old 
information for that feature.

I'm not a programmer, just my thoughts.

Individually numbering each menu item could prove to be awkward.  If you 
assign numbers 1 through 'n' now, what happens when you insert something 
later?  It gets number n+1 but it may appear out of numeric order as you 
surf through the menu system.  Same thing happens if you move an item 
around.  If an item is deleted or replaced by 2 items, then I suppose you'd 
have to retire the original number.  So instead of a nice clean listing of 
numbers 1 through N, you'd have a sparse list of items 1 through N that 
probably are not in numerical order when you look for them in the menu 
system.

To have each menu function screen numbered and a sheet for reference with 
the menu settings and there numbers listed. It would make finding what you 
are looking for quicker and easier when in the config. mode.
