Grant, that's a big challenge and I doube if even Gary can handle it!

We certainly need an "undo" button (which I call an "oops" button).

I don't disagree that pushing the wrong button inadvertently is one of
the things that most of us do from time to time.

GUess I see that as a cockpit issue -- unless we endow the radio
with a generic "undo" button to correct out mistakes.

The ultimate solution, of course, is that the radio respond not to
what we do, but what we INTENDED to do.  Let's see if Gary can
handle THAT firmware update :-)
