I received my PGXL yesterday and set it up last night. The implementation was VERY quick, so props to the crews on that. So far it seems awesome. A few things I'd like to see:
1.) How about fans that ramp up from 0. What if I forget to turn this thing to standby after I last use it and don't log back in for a week or two or a month... the fans will just spin continuously the entire time? I am leery of that after the 3 radios I've returned for fan problems.
2.) User settable maximum power out instead of drive power. Not an ALC so much as the radio and amp talking back and forth to reduce drive power automatically. I realize this is a bit tricky, but it would be nice. That way it doesn't matter what band or part of the band you're in, you just get the approximate max power you specify.
3.) Power meter with a white line showing the maximum power out over the last 1-2 seconds. This would be similar to the S Meter so that if the max power is missed during the 100ms updates (it will be) you get an idea of your average maximum power.
