To make this work even better, I suggest the following: 1. A per centage of power by mode in the setup somewhere. 2. That the PWR value would change, just as it does for the TUNE control today when you change modes. Moving the slider while in the new mode would then have the effect correspondingly multiplied, capped at 100 watts of course, when you switched to another mode. This is also where Flex recommendations about power levels in modes like RTTY (DIGL,DIGU) and AM could be enforced or at least warned about.
