Hi Eric,

Can't say anything about the TYT radios, but the Wouxun radios aren't difficult or cumbersome to program at all. Menu 27 is used to program memories. Switching between memory and VFO modes is just one button punch. Specifically, the menu key followed by the TDR key toggles between the two modes.
