I don't think a flame suit is needed for this one, but I disagree with the

I regularly use "record on the fly" when working split.  I'd love more 
memories, but let's not lose the capability to put your split frequency into a 
memory easily.

Another thought I have is that recording all this stuff is an awful lot of 
work, and actually when recorded properly the individual characters don't sound 
all that bad.  How about a sound recording utility in writelog that's smart 
enough to truncate (or recommend the truncation at least) the unnecessary stuff 
from a recorded character and would adjust the "level" of that recording to 
match some predetermined level.  It might be able to record all 26 letters and 
10 digits in one sweep and then automatically make the individual wav files - 
assuming all the characters were entered in order and only said once.  This 
would allow much quicker setups for different ops at a multi station.  

I think these innovations are great and should probably go foward but frankly, 
I'm never going to use all this fancy record every callsing in the world stuff. 
 26 characters and 10 numbers all truncated properly and level matched is 
enough work for me when I've got the rest of the station to maintain (not to 
mention the rest of life to live)!

Respectfully.
