I wouldn't mind that at all IF they made the radio a nice SIMPLE almost non- menu driven radio that I could afford in a couple of years (say five years?)
I understand that the manufacturers are thinking smaller is better, but I do hate having to dig through a menu on a radio to change a setting that could easily have been left on the front panel as a button or knob. I do prefer the older (15+ years old) radios that had all the knobs and buttons on the front to control everything. Whatever happened to the interfaces that were built into the radios for the older methods of interfacing for RTTY? If they could do that back then, how hard would it really be to include a soundcard interface now? Skip is showing that it doesn't have to take up that much real estate on the back of a newer modern radio. BTW - I use one of the original Digipan interfaces that were built back when PSK was introduced. Thats what I am basing my comment of KISS on.
