A lot of Yaesu radios you can't and you need to be a rocket scientist to
work the menus in most current models too,  I would stay away from yaesu

that flat out on the phone more then once.

looks like you can get an extra microphone for it & enter frequencies from
the keypad on that microphone.  Any information would be appreciated.
