Ed,

The problem is that we can't do everything at once....we have to  
prioritize which firmware features to add when.

FM will be added very shortly after first production shipments start,  
so you'll be able to use it on 10 and 6 meters. The MCU code to  
support FM and repeaters is already in place, since it was ported from  
the K3. The DSP, however, is a brand new one that has very low current  
drain. It's totally different from the K3's DSP, so we have to rewrite  
all of the low-level modulation/demodulation routines.

The 2-meter module should be ready for its first lab tests pretty soon.
