Hi Butch, I am getting speech ok, but I wanted a button that when pressed,
would just speak the frequency.  Having now re-programmed menu 48, I get
precisely what I wanted.  So far, I love the radio, and I am glad that my
good friend Steve decided to sell his as he wasn't using it at all.

73 my friend, Alan

You should also get speech when changing the low and high cut settings. 
I think I have missed some of these posts.  Are you not getting any 
speech?
