Hi.

Well, my take on it is that there is more to making a radio accessible than 
just entering the frequency or addr4essing a memory.  If I can't set PL 
tones, manipulate filters, adjust the noise blanker, adjust the 
compression, etc., I don't want it.  Life is hard enough without trying to 
make it harder.  There are accessible radios on the market--if companies 
don't want to take the time to make it accessible, I am darned sure not 
going to take the time to give them a sale.
