I believe the reason why the brick does not have an audio jack is that it only produces NMEA sentences which are processed by the display which produces the audio alerts.

Understood.

But they "could" add the additional circuitry and audio jack to the brick, as they "could" have built in a bright alert LED on the portable (to make it more viable in tow planes etc, without having to wire it into the headset audio).

Neither change is likely as I doubt there's enough demand and they are working on other improvements. I also suggested to them that they provide a lower intensity back light on the portable for night flying (power plane). Lowest it goes now is 10%, which sounds just fine until you try flying with it at night! Lowest setting is still so bright it interfers with night vision.. If they don't fix that in a software revision I'll use some dark static cling plastic over the screen I guess.
