Actually, Rick, I was picturing something like the original Omni or Corsair. Difference being that the knobs are software programmable via an app on your PC or phone... for instance, instead of selecting from 3 xtal filters with a knob, you select from several DSP bandwidths. Several of your favorite setups can be stored to flash, and maybe on the back a switch to pick which one, or to set factory defaults. No computer display... something more like an LED freq display, and a real meter. Keep all of the computer stuff on a computer, radio stuff on the radio. Look at what Harley-Davidson did by going with a retro look... maybe there's some interest? This would not, of course, be everyone's cup of tea. Some want latest and greatest.
As far as the negative comments... haters gonna hate. Keep up the good work Rick & Mike! A thankless job if there ever was one...
