PGXL software enhancement suggestions

Two control software suggestions for PGXL
1. Inactivity timer. Revert to standby with no transmit activity for a period of time. Could be hardwired to 30 minutes or could be configurable. Probably needs a checkbox to enable somewhere. No strong feelings whether this is an SSDR feature or a PGXL Utility feature.
2. Automatic standby when SSDR is closed.
Neither feature is a showstopper, but they'd increase operating convenience for those of us who remote the amp. If it's in the room with you I imagine you'll notice the fan noise and press the standby button.

I would add another one - need improvements on Utility Power meter.
While Power reading on Amp is looks good, on Utility it need some delay or averaging.
It is hard to understand the reading based on this

I would like to also add a way to configure the PGXL from the utility for manual band switching if hooked up to a radio with no CAT connection.

I agree and while they (Flex) are at it the documentation could reference the manual band switching process.
