This is where problems will begin to occur.
Are you going to add in functionality to modify ubitx_menu.ino
on the fly? Or are you going to break up ubitx_menu.ino into a lot of
little pieces that can be included/excluded at compile time? How do you
tie including/excluding menu items to controlling the actual compile of
functions in the code?
If you just inhibit access to the alignment software after it is used it
doesn't lower the amount of memory used for the program unless you do
so with a recompile and reload. Is that really what we want the user to
have to do?
Does deleting a mode actually save very much program space? Most
functions are common between modes, you still have to transition
between receive and transmit, only some variables change value.
Does doing all this actually make it harder for the experimenter to
modify the code because it makes it more difficult to lay out all the
interactions between the code that might be affected? I know it's hard
enough for me already to trace through all the code when I want to
change something. Making it more difficult is not what I would want to
see.

This is a good idea and might make it easier to peel off those
features not desired. The source already lends itself to this
approach. I have not studied it closely enough to know whether
specific files (e.g., ubitx_keyer.ino, ubitx_cat.ino) can be taken
out of the compile chain as it currently stands.

In fact, to expand on this¡ I think Ian should consider block defines
for sections of the code that people want or don¡¯t want.? He has
already done this in selecting the type of display (2 line or 4
line).? Some of the things to block define might be:
?
1.?????? CAT
2.?????? WSPR
3.?????? Alignment ?(if you¡¯ve done it once, why do it again?)
4.?????? CW? (some people only use SSB)
5.?????? SSB? (some people only use CW).

I¡¯m sure there are others.? This way there is plenty of room if you
want to experiment.? Just shut stuff off.? In fact, there could be an
experiment define that turns on or shuts off your experiments too.

Just a thought¡
