Below is a copy of the answer I received from Dan Yuter of Panasonics, Technics organization, regarding all the suggestions everyone sent to me.

Dear Larry:

Thank you for your letter, and ideas and contributions to make our KN7000 and future products better. Some of these ideas, we have talked about with the factory, others that you've submitted are very interesting, and I will pass them along. Sometimes it's hard to incorporate a lot of things, because it becomes a cost factor, and we're trying to keep the price down, as best as possible. I will send all of the ideas, and wish list to our Product Specialist, Chris Halon. He in turn, can pass them on to the Factory. We are already working on the next Generation KN7000 hopefully to come out sometime next year. Thanks again, for your support of Technics products.
