Dear fellow hams,

     I think what I am looking for is to make my radios as accessible as
possible.  I really don't think that we are ever going to find the
absolute
world of accessibility.  I say just give me a fighting chance.  As far as
computer programable radios, I use the national repeater guide and program
my radio for the areas I am going to pass through.
Again, this requires someone reading the repeater guide, nevertheless,
I can live with it.  As the tecnology advances, audible access becomes
more of a problem.  It can be frustrating, but offers great intertainment
in working around the problems.
