Scott, if the radio isn't exactly user friendly, have your friends put the 
loner radio in memory mode after programming your favorite repeaters into 
it. Then, you can use either the vfo knob or the up-down buttons on the mic 
to get around the band. That's what I did with my Icom 208 h until my wife 
and I got our Kenwood t m v 71 A. Good luck with the new radio and antenna.
