Indeed, a true communication management unit that allows to enter frequencies via a keypad would be great. I was kinda puzzled when i switched to the bus that it didn't have that but rather the same old fashioned RMPs as we had on the 737 as well. If it offers more than one standby frequencies that would be even better.
