Hi Don;

You are 100PC correct.

I got a message saying that the radios should be governed by A D A.

I mean where does it stop.

These radios are made outside the USA and I don't believe they are governed
by A D A.

I mean where does it stop.

Don't you think that people who are sighted have problems with radios
similar to ours.

I mean put someone in front of that ICOM's 10.000 radio.

Well, I guess because it is out of my price range that they should give me
one because I am financially impaired.

Harvey, you make a blind person throw up.
