Hi Steve; Thank you for that explanation. 73 De Anthony W2AJV [log in to unmask] ECHOLINK NODE NUMBER: 74389 ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Dresser To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 1:38 PM Subject: Re: tmv-71a question Anthony, Yes to both questions. However, you'll need a list of the menu items because the VGS-1 tells you the numbers, but not the names. It does, however, speak numeric values, and words like "off" and "on." In some cases, it spells words like "a l l" and "c u r r e n t." It also reads the names of the PF keys instead of giving them numeric values like it does in the 480.
