why would you want a compandor on FM?  Narrow FM I can see but on a standard 5 KHz channel?

Subject: the new baofeng radios

I have a friend who just got one of the new baofeng handhelds. His = version has a com pander, which
is interesting. One mic feature it has, = is when you  are in menu mode you can step through the
menus and it = reads the menus as you step through them, so you don=92t necessarily = have to know
the menu number to find a setting. This is the unit with = the more traditional keyboard layout. i
will find out which model it is = next time I talk t him, but int he meantime, is there a list of
which = baofeng radios are and ar enot truly accessible? I have a uv5r, and = accessibility is
awesome for that one, and i am considering getting = another one in the near future, so am at the
point to choose which one I = might want, the 220 version, or the model he has.

73 and have a wonderful Christmas
