Hi Reed,
The upgrade was very straight forward, it worked first time. A few things I've noticed is, every time I turn the radio on it goes to the 40 meter band where I left it, but its on USB every time even though I was using it on LSB when shut off. Also I find the tuning to be very critical, I just slightly touch the encoder and its gone off frequency, also is very hard to precisely tune to the exact frequency. I noticed that there is a 3/16 slice of black on the right hand side of the display that could be utilized, (I'm sure you know about this already). The style is okay the way it is, maybe there is a better way but I don't have much imagination in this regard, as long as it is functional I am happy. I have had all afternoon to use it since my last post and I find it quite usable now. Thanks for your hard work in this regard. I would be happy to test any further changes you make.
