Hi Ron

I use that bit to switch radios in my homebrew SO2R box.

I was really looking for "three" controls as it gets interesting
trying to turn three rotators with two hands. I may be the only
person that is interested in this so I was asking to see if there
was any interest before officially asking you to add it to the
"list".

The real answer would be a device address. George was
a Hy-Gain beta tester and asked them to add that to their 
DCU-1 protocol, but I don't believe they did. TRLog doesn't 
ask for it and the Rotor-EZ doesn't have address selection. 

I did get a comment from a DCU-1 user and he had to send
the rotator position twice using TRLog??
