Excellent news, Wayne! If only you could consider making the "Mic Btn" settings mode-dependent, my life would be complete (or thereabouts). Right now this is the #1 setting I need to change all the time: when using the Mic on SSB I have to enable "Ptt", and when switching to DATA to connect my audio card for digital modes I need to set it to "Off" because the audio card jack I use keys PTT... :)
