Mark, Since Buddy brought this HT to our attention, I bought one about a month ago, and I really like it. You have to get used to some things such as the plus or minus offset not being automatic when you move from a 146.x to a 147.x repeater channel, but, that's the way it was for years anyway for those of us who have been around awhile. I know that two others have been bought by blind hams in my area within the past 2 weeks. And I know of at least one other of these rigs that will be at the ACB convention in Phoenix next week. Buddy's "eyes-free" documentation is a work in progress, but it is already at a point where you can do just about anything you want to do with the radio by reading and following it.
