Gary has a very good point.  Making it selectable shouldn't be all that 
hard [he who used to cringe when one of his users said that and he had 
to make it happen :-) ]  Not everyone may like my suggestion.  I suggest 
this would be a "try it both ways, decide, and you probably wouldn't 
touch it again."

I'm not real prompt in FW upgrades if it doesn't do something I care 
about.  I was last on production v.4R48 before v.4R51, and it was doing 
it then too. Honestly, I *think* but don't *know* that it was doing it 
before I got the KPA500.  I made a couple DX contacts and was then 
surprised I did it at 5W and not 100.  I will get behind the rig, where 
one wonders why they call this "wireless," find the right cable and 
re-seat it a couple of times.
