Richard,

The rig  only has about 50 buttons on the front panel, and God gave you 10 
fingers, so that comes out to 5 buttons per finger.  Of  course most of the 
buttons have more than one function, so perhaps that's why God gave you 10 
toes as well.

Really, it's not hard to figure out and you can get a lot of good help from 
this list, as  a number here either have, or have had one.  It may or  may 
not be the radio for you, but don't let any fear of complexity scare you 
away from it.

73, Steve KW3A
