yes those are all good ideas, but I still think people are going to hesitant to allow us to mess with their radios in any way. Maybe after they get used to some new way of doing the same thing, they would be amenable to newer things.

The sky is the limit here. My goal, and why I am so willing to discuss it openly, is that I have very cheap Taiwan connections, so I can get the parts very cheap and produce something that somebody wants. Ultimately, I would go so far as to say I would probably post the schematic and let people make them for themselves if they want.

I just like the idea enough, that I want to see some form of it in action at the local fields.

THanks for the suggestions
