And, you know, redesign around both the currently unobtainable and the soon to be unobtainable parts...
I was thinking more of the form factor.

By all means design out the problematic parts, but

- retain the form factor
- better support for user build battery packs so that we don't rely upon 3rd party solutions
- keep xtal filters
- a mic connector that's not an RJ45. I'd rather have a chicken band'ers 4 pin mic tbh.
- tilt / bail stand as STANDARD.


Not interested in -

- spectrum scopes
- digital voice
- ATU's

Useful but not essential -

- 4m band
- GPS calibration input.
