Hi Richard,
The basic functions of the radio are fairly easy to learn.  I wasn't
familiar with the radio at all when I bought it and within one hour I was
operating.  You can get some help from www.handiham.org and
www.icanworkthisthing.com.  I haven't spent the time to learn the more
difficult things yet but hopefully that will come soon.  For what I've done
so far it is a very nice radio and the price is even getting better.  Hro
has it for $1399.95.  There's also plenty of help on this list.  

73, Gary, N5GD

  Okay, I'm not sure what I did but when I press the PF button to have =
it

do it.
  Thanks for any help.
