Agreed on the type ahead buffer. Having it always available as an option
would be great.
On the radio control issue I think there is an earlier request from Icom
owners for WriteLog to support the ability of the Icom CI-V interface to
control up to 4 radios on a single com port. Logic 5 does this so it is
doable.
