[TenTec] 3rd Party Omni-6 Firmware?

While I thoroughly enjoy my Omni-6 Plus, there are some missing 
features in the firmware that would make it even better.  While I 
haven't spoken with them on the subject, it appears that Ten Tec 
doesn't seem inclined to make any changes.

Has anyone considered re-working the firmware a la Jack Ghiel for the 
Omni-6 Plus?

The two features I would like to see added: visual indication of 
transmitting (Ghiel added a  "star" on the display), and the ability to 
key the radio on the interface (RS-232) line.

Anyone else interested?  What would it take to convince TT to add these 
features?

Comments?
