I suggest to add the possibility for user defined commands in a startup and shutdown file for RMS Express.
Reason: RMS Express executes a complete reset of the modem at each startup. This has some unwanted consequences for me. In the Ptc-2 all stored frequency channels are deleted. The modem log is deleted. The mailbox with all stored messages is deleted. The LED brightness setting is set to default.
With a startup and shutdown file I could restore some of my user settings.
The best solution for me would be to make the complete restart of the modem user definable, maybe hidden, if you fear too much need for support.
For the new P4 Dragon modem the startup file could help to save lifetime of the modem display. OLED's have a known short lifetime. The firmware allows to dim them and to switch the display off completely if not in use. But these parameters are not default values and overwritten with a complete restart.
May be the use of these startup / shutdown ini-files could implemented as an option. Normal user wouldn't need them, but some of us find it very helpful to set own parameters.

I agree.

I agree with Werner and Finn!
