My last post as this is beaten to death already......
1. Keep base software.
2. Fix tuning - add freq increments or make accelerated tuning work.
3. Remove the resistor network kludge on the cw line and use the spare Analog pin.
??? More discussion has been on getting the voltages correct. So eliminate the whole
??? mess for the new buyers.

I'd wager a very small percentage of users will have the experience
to even know what else he/she may need. How many would even know
what CAT control is, and why they may need it? That's where the
aftermarket developers come in.
Once they get their feet wet and understand the landscape, then they
can decide which flavor of upgraded firmware to install. And either
pre-built, or roll your own from source.
The current software is just fine. The upgrade choices are nice with
lots of added features, but the shipped version should be geared
towards the beginner. Ashhar's version does that. It's his project,
and ultimately, he's going to be responsible for the support.
However, of Ashhar feels it's prudent to give the various third party
developers some space on the site to promote their various version,
even better.
Complexity confuses and scares beginners. Let them get a few
contacts before adding to the chaos.
