It takes a lot of playing around but so far the windows software I have I've 
been able to make due with, the dos software I generally need help. I've 
often thought about getting rid of the Motorola gear and getting all Kenwood 
gear as their software is much more speech friendly and I like the audio and 
often performance a little better but don't think I'd be quite able to find 
someone willing to do the trade since all I have Motorola gear for is 900 
MHz and I'm picky on 900 MHz Kenwood gear, version 2 revision only. Maybe 
someday.
