No, all! and not just conrolled, but readable as well.
It should be, "All paramaters can be remotely controlled AND remotely
read." Anything else will annoy someone, say a perfectionist like me.

I'll up the ante on this and request that the changes which are
reported be user programmable via CI-V. Only tales one bit per
parameter to report.
If the C&R, Control and Reporting, is via CI-V that may be worthwhile.
If the C&R is via Ethernet that's spurious. (CI-V should still exist
and offer the ability to send control data to the likes of a PW-1, of
course. But for remote control it should be considered a dead issue
in exchange for an Ethernet interface that handles the IF samples and
the bandscope data as well as the C&R data. Then we can build magic
with radios.
