Hello.
Oops sorry, my mistake.
While we are on the subject, I believe the software used to program some
Icom radios is also accessable too is that right?
Never liked Yaesu radios. I had a bad experience with a yaesu 767 one time
and that thing was back and forth to the shop more times than I care to
count.

It's not Kenwood or it would be accessible, for some reason, I have yet to 
figure out, some people feel compelled to struggle along with yaesu 
equipment with the accessibility and reliability issues. Kenwood stuff is 
very accessible, software and radios.
