Is the bind plug needed for the WAVE/W1?

[curmudgeon]

When using the Spirit WAVE radio with the Spirit W1 flight controller, is it possible to bind and/or rebind WITHOUT using the bind plug?

The reason I ask is I don't remember ever needing to use the bind plug when binding Jeti radios to the GTR units.

Straight from Tomas in Facebook: "You can bind without a bind plug when it is new or bind data were cleared. Or you can wait for a future update where we will add optional automatic binding without a bind plug." He also stated on another post, "Yes, this will be supported but not default behavior due to safety risks.".

Actually JETI receivers need BIND plug always in the very same way as W1.
But only the first time (it is new), bind plug is not needed.

The same apply for W1.
