No matter what you do, Ian's software is going to fill up the nano's
memory space. That *will* limit the ability of novice and intermediate
coders to make changes that they would like.
In essence it will push the ubitx to being more like a
kenwood/icom/yaesu rig where the software does not lend itself to
experimentation by the user.
Ian's software is quite easy to install if one is not interested in
experimentation.
Perhaps make it an ordering option? Basic software for experimenters
and Ian's software for appliance operators.

Peeps,
Given that Dr.Lee's software is now pretty stable from 1.06 onwards,
what do you all say about using this as the 'shipped' firmware? I
have some personal quirks that make me modify it for my personal use
(ex: I prefere general coverage when changing the bands rather than
steps to and from ham bands) but do we consider it to be usable and
stable for our needs?
I resisted feature-ful software as the base because smaller code base
makes it easier for people to get in and modify, there is space in
the memory for modifications, etc.
If there is a general consensus, then, we will customize it to the
standard hardware, and start burning this into the next batch of
ubitx.
Opinions, please.
