Steven,
It appears to me that we now own "legacy" radios.
I would not expect any major new software features for our radios.
The future is the Flex 6000 series.

Any reason the psdr software couldn't do this as well

Does the new hardware have, or can be made to have, the ability to send a
pulse down any of the antenna connectors and:
a) Monitor the reflections and display the results as a time-domain
reflectometer at a base frequency of choice (any frequency on which the
6000
may transmit) . Providing the power is low enough the receiver can stay on
to "see" the sent pulse and reflected signals; then graph the reflections
on
a time or distance basis. This will permit exact real-time measurement of
off-centre fed antennae as well as feed line analysis and balun impedance
matching. Velocity factor if a bare wire is paralleled with a test cable
and the difference in reflected time represents the velocity factor.
b) Perform the function of a graphic antenna analyzer by sending a
series of very short bursts (several cycles on each frequency) and graph
the
results with SWR and impedance. The user selects scan centre frequency and
scan width.
