Fred, You can have most of your desire list right now - just try coupling the K2 up with N4PY software or Ham Radio Deluxe. With either program, you have the display that you are asking about and one can either use the K2 buttons to change things or you can click the mouse on the software display 'buttons'. It takes a bit of configurating to get exactly what you want, but most of the capability is already available. The TFT display that you want is already present on your computer monitor - all it takes is the KIO2 and a cable to a serial port.
