Hi;
I think you should get the newest latest elcraft just to let some of us know 
how you like it.  I believe you now have the option to purchase it in kit 
form or fully assembled but I am certainly not an elcraft authority.

Hi Richard,
I'll bet you are right.

It probably doesn't read anything more than frequency and mode.

I have found that most of these modern transceivers are not that accessible.

Guess I could get someone to build me an Elecraft!

They seem to be accessible with either speech or CW output.

I had a Kenwood TS570 at one time and it spoke mode and frequency and mode.

I don't remember if the synthesizer spoke the menus on that rig.

Some of these radios will work with computer programs but who wants to be
hooked to a PC just to operate a ham rig!
