I'd like for the filter width indicator to be where the VFO B frequency readout is and shift the other indicators in that row to the left to make it fit, because I prefer looking at it through my dominant eye which is my right eye. 2. I'd like for CMP to have a label for 5 dB, because I don't like to have to interpolate the distance between zero and ten. 3. I'd like for the S-Meter to have a maximum reading of 80.5 dB in .5 dB steps, because I have a neighbor 2 miles away that tells me I should be able to resolve his signal strength accurately. As it is I can only watch him peg the meter when he is working DX. 4. Since I almost always work CW, I wonder if you could add a feature to disable all the other modes so I won't be able to accidentally use them or have to step through them. It would be nice if I could use the menu to select one of the other modes if I really do want to use it. You could make the mode selectable from the Config Menu by rotating the B VFO to the mode and selecting YES to make it available from the MODE button. I feel this is a reasonable request and it shouldn't take more than a few days to do the necessary modifications.
