Jerry, Absolutely, positively you will get waterfall WAY before the end of the free software period. It is high on the priority list but I am sure you would not want us to hold up shipments to add that one feature. After all, this is a software defined radio so it can be completely upgraded with a download. I am 100% confident that you will be more than pleased with what you will get within the free period.
