Hi To All:
I think Bill's idea is GREAT. Alot of software seems to be upgradable on the
web, i.e. Kam software, contesting software, etc.
I'm not familiar with upgrading firmware, but I'd like to see the "At Home"
upgradeable radio.

Scott,
As a suggestion to Engineering: perhaps the next OMNI logic board rev
could incorporate a FLASH-ROM or EEPROM whereby we could upgrade the
radio via PC diskette, the web or FTP downloads.
Thanks,
