Not only surgeon's hands, but a jeweler's eye.  Much as I'd love to install
these things myself, I don't want to take the chance of frying the
radio.  When I bought my R75, HRO had no problem with installing the speech
module.  I just explained to them that I am blind, and don't feel
comfortable about poking around in a brand new radio.  I would never have
done that when I was younger, but the last time I tried installing a speech
module, I had to get sighted help anyway, and I wasted a lot of time
waiting when I could have been enjoying my new toy.
