Butch,

Sounds like a typical ham to me.  I know how it is when 590 fever strikes. 
Once I made my decision, I couldn't wait to get the radio, and hooked it up 
as soon as I found the box on my front porch.  Frustrating as it is, I think 
you were wise to let Universal install the speech board for you.  I've done 
that with every radio I have, except for the 2000, and that was only because 
the radio was shipped from a different store, and they ignored instructions 
to install the board.  It turned out to be easy, thanks to some instructions 
from a friend of mine, but I was very anxious that I would either damage the 
board or the radio.  Anyway, I hope you get the radio soon.  I think you'll 
really enjoy it.

Steve
