I did not vote, because it is context sensitive. Sometimes radio buttons are better and other times DropDown. If there is only 2 or 3 selections with constant names, then I would prefer radio buttlons. Drop downs are more useful on variable selections and long entries.
Often, it does not matter. So no vote for now. |

I think radio buttons are only suitable for 2-4 different options. Any more and the GUI looks too busy and less accessible. _________________

Option group for All, Inbound, and Meters.
If Inbound is selected, populate the dropdown with the Inbound choices.
If Meters is selected, populate the list with the Meters choices. _________________ “yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation” yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation. |

| I agree with Dragonscloud. Simple radios for the 4 big headers, than more specific options in the drop-down with an All option. |

The drop down looks more professional.
Radio is only good for up to 3 options  |
