I can appreciate that. And I would not want it to delay other features. But to compare to other radios, most are inverted in this operating method. They are locked into bands of their localization and require either modification or proof of MARS license to open it. I'm not for locking it down either, and would be satisfied with band edge beeps. I have a blind ham that uses this radio quite a bit, and it would be optimize his operation of the radio. He is always having it announce VFO location because of the radio's "openness" to be extra careful.
