[Elecraft] Features wanted

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

I have a Genovation Keypad that I can program up to do many functions.

The one feature I miss the most is having a button for each band.  In my
previous Yaesu rig, each band button had two settings, push once for your
favorite CW settings and freq, and again for SSB.  I use HRD macros for
that now, but I really don't like to use the computer to push buttons on my
radio.  I could see a single additional button, a toggle function, which
changed the personality of the keypad to make them band buttons. Toggle
again, back to normal functionality for those buttons. Hey, and there's
room for that button right next to the CLR button.  Just saying... ;)
