Hi.

I am unfamiliar with the IC2120, but I think that the IC746 takes the same
UT102 speech module that is used by the 706 series.  Also, I know for a
fact that the Millenium QSYer works on the 746, so you could gain keypad
frequency capabilities.  I have found this to be as valuable as the voice
synthesizer for NTS work, because it keeps you from doing the "tune a
little bit, hit the button" over and over until you find the
frequency.  Just key it in, and you are there.
