Please include an SFP port on future models

The cost fiber networking has become economical enough that support for it should be included in any and all future radio and accesory models. This can be accomplished by building the gear with an SFP port for the network connectivity as the default, or as a secondary option. Fiber will help mitigate RFI ingress points and provide a degree of isolation for lightning as well. Building out a mostly LC connector fiber in-shack network is now only marginally more costly than Cat 5 or 6 is, but has many advantages in radio gear environments. Yes you can readily find fiber / copper media converters inexpensively. But why not build the gear to not require them at all?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
