I have come to the conclusion that the survey that
Kenwood had people fill out at Dayton, a couple of
years back was just lip service and a stunt.  If they
had really listened, there would have been a built-in
gps, some kind of SmartBeaconing algorithm, bigger LCD
that can display more information, a customizable LCD
display format, open source (at least the front end)
and a whole host of other options I have seen people
ask for on this list.
