I don't think this is a good solution. You would have to hit Shift(s) to 
get to the second set of letters. And look where the numbers are! For an 
average call sign you would have to put 50-75% more keystrokes. No, 
thanks. This seems to be more of a marketing try to make money on those 
who buy any new gadget.

If you really like to keep your hands at one location, you can try using 
software front panel control for modern radios. I don't like that either.

The beauty of TR is to let you have modes and different functions for 
the same key, depending on the mode. Hmmm, that reminds me of VI editor. 
Everybody hates it until you learn to use it. And then it is the best 
tool you have.
