Also, I think it would be a great improvement if the belt clip was made from
metal in stead of plastic.
It was only a matter of time till the plastic clip broke off. I have my BP
on my belt from morning to night every night, and there was no way that clip
would last indefinitely.
I have now used epoxy to attach a metal clip to the BP, and it is much much
more robust. But it would be wonderful if future versions were release with
a stronger clip.
Thanx much.

Hi Larry and list,
There are a couple major revisions to the external parts of the BP that I
would love to see:
1) could you use a belt clip that grabs onto not only the top but the
bottom of the belt? I find that often my unit comes off the belt if it's
pushed upward by a wallet in my back pocket, or by my leg when I sit down.
2) PLEASE make the battery contacts of more springy metal. If my BP is in
my pants pocket, and my dog brushes against the bp, often I have to open the
battery compartment to jiggle the batteries so the BP will work again.
Along the same thought, can you put in a capacitor so that interruptions to
the battery power won't cause the BP to return to defaults? This is not the
same as pushing the D+E+F keys before changing the batteries, but for the
instance I sited above.
Thanks for considering these changes.
