Hi
Honestly, I was considering on buying one of their hand helds until I
was reading on the list about all the troubles getting programming software
that works. Now, I am not sure what to do.
God bless,
Mark
God Loves you!

Hi Joseph,
I, and Ed actually, and others, have made similar suggestions, beginning =
with adding more voice feedback. Wouxun seems uninterested in =
implementing them. One guy said they wanted a thousand radios ordered at =
once, but Ed told me that they pretty much told him that they wren't =
interested in adding more accessibility features. Still, he did pass on =
a couple suggestions to them from me a few months ago, which seem to =
have fallen on deaf ears. (I also sent the Email I sent to him, to =
Keisha at Wouxun, but have, of course, heard nothing at all.) So, I =
really don't expect things to improve with them insofar as accessibility =
is concerned.
