Ron,

Thanks for posting this.  I knew someone  could do a better job of 
describing this  than I  could.

Here are a few quirks I found in the short time playing with it:

Suppose it comes with the territory, but something like "mp3 player" is now 
read as "mike papa three player".  I may  wind up setting this feature  only 
to programs where I expect to be reading call signs.

If a call has  a letter"n" followed by a number, it reads it as a date: 
N7ABC is read as "November seventh alpha bravo charlie".

The real speak voice pronounces "Lima" for the letter L as the Lima in Lima 
bean,  and not as Lima the capital of Peru.

Just kind of nit picking.  I'm sure others will pop up, but I like this 
feature very much.
