Thanks Steve,

I'll sure keep that in mind.

Don,

All menu numbers and values are spoken.  However, the menu name is 
not, so you'll either have to remember what they are, or come up with 
a cheat sheet.  Fortunately, this information is in the manual, and 
I've made my own cheat sheet, so if you get the radio and want it, I 
can send it to you.  Two other helpful features are the quick menu 
and the A/B toggle, which lets you store two different sets of menu 
settings.  I would have liked to see more groups of settings, but two 
is better than one.

In addition to the spoken items in the menu, other items such as Mic 
gain, Vox delay and gain, power level, processor level, and PL 
encode/decode are spoken.  The mode (USB, LSB, CW, etc.) is a CW 
announcement.  As far as I know, the 480 is the most accessible radio 
on the market today.
