The "complicated" bad rap is almost surely the result of people watching this 
reflector.  Things like:  

"Firmware beta version 5.555.001 allows the setting of macros to turn on your 
coffeemaker at a user-programmed time, and to increase the rate of change of audio 
gain with knob twist."

First, it isn't mandatory to make these continuing updates, if it isn't important to your 
application(s) of the radio.  Just buy it (and build it, if you got the kit) turn it on, and 
USE it!!!  It's magnificent!

Second, it's amazing that the radio can be customized infinitely, if you want.

Third, it's amazing that the company continues to provide these changes and 
upgrades.  

Try that with your Hammarlund!
