This request was already made to Wayne, and it was pointed out that if
anyone really did want the "KHZ" they could simply add it to their message.
But for most of us who don't want the "KHZ", there is no way to eliminate it
now. I expect he will delete it, but I'll check again.

That was considered but it makes the syntax complex. There is no obvious
way to handle this for the case of just two radios on one computer when
there could be up to four radios. This means you'll need a message buffer
for each radio. You might assign those messages to Fn keys at the opposite
ends of your keyboard to help you know which one to hit for which radio.
Not as ideal as your suggestion above, but usable, and clearly better than
not having this feature at all.
