Hi Jerry;

Welcome to the list.

If you use any of the Kenwood handhelds, you won't need speech.

The beeps are very intuitive.

However, their is a handheld that a few list members have purchased from S. 
E. Asia.

I have no interest in it.

All of us are here to help each other.

I have found that Kenwood equipment meets my needs very well.
