I thought the list sounded awful familiar, considering your earlier 
report on the lost beta.  If it does indeed incorporate the features 
you spoke about previously, it's worth the money IMNSHO (especially 
considering how vitriolic I've been over on the Repeater list 
regarding why they wouldn't release that upgrade to bugfix).

Well, at least on the LP-1 you can program around that pretty easily. 
Also, I just noticed section 2.1.8 in the Repeater 2.x addendum that 
(I think) addresses your concern.  I think the new software defaults 
to Rec --> Odub mode, so you have to go in and set it to "Repeater 
1.0" mode manually.  However, I think you can definitely keep the 
original mode.
