Thanks,  seems easy enough,  I think she got it with all accessories for
$50,  can't beat that.  I get to play with it for a couple days and figure
it out then she wants me to show her how to run it,  Seems like it's easy
enough.  No manual yet, but each reply tells me a little more each time.
Sounds like I'm pretty well on my way to understanding the radio  (smile)
now let's hope I can explain it.
