Here is my short list:

Orion Feature Wish List (software defined)

1. manual transmit key 2. bandscope active on all receivers, main, b and sub; switchable 3. two bandscopes: 1 for A, 1 switchable between B and sub 4. programmable step sizes other than the presets 5. memory positions for rx audio settings that does not require a reset of other radio functions. recall would be instant. 6. the external speaker output on the rear panel should be a STEREO plug and not a monaural plug. this would allow us to connect two speakers so we could enjoy the binaural and diversity reception. 7. separate control of both compression and alc in the speech processor. 8. display of transmit audio signal in real time. 9. ability to reassign features to buttons we may not use. for example, item 5 above could be assigned to VOX button. multiple pushes would cycle different settings (as the AGC button does now).

cheers!
