Wouldn't it be nice to use your cell-phone's ear piece to talk on your 2M or 440M mobile? Or monitor your rig (which is downstairs in the shack) while you use your laptop upstairs watching the tube? (I really can multitask!) It seams that all the new rigs are computer controlled - why not include a USB port and a little programming which could be used to program the radio with a computer or used to attach a Bluetooth dongle? Maybe someone has done this as a DIY project, but I haven't seen it yet!! I guess I'll keep looking. KE2QZ Yup – my feelings exactly!
