Well, the voice synth only reads frequency and S meter and mode, but with
some tricks here and there, I can use almost every feature on the radio, a
cheat sheet is in order though with all the multi functions on all the
buttons but I have all the common ones down well enough I can use it for
mobile and portable HF use, and as a temporary base in cases where I need a
back up here in the house or on vacation I'll use it for that. I wouldn't
say it's the best in accessibility, but if you take the time to learn it and
really get used to it, it's nowhere near as bad as it seems the first couple
days you have it, don't even try to remember everything, just what you'll
use  lol, that's all I can say.
