To John Miller and others:

What model of puxing do you have?  It is my understanding that the 777 plus 
is the only one with the speech.
I have had one for about oive months, and as soon as I can get someone to 
help me write down a few things about the ctcss tones, I'll be writing up 
procedures for setting them.
I find the speech (while not complete) at least quite usable.  It begs the 
question, where are kenwood, icom, and yaesu with their million dolllar 
engineering staffs when a chinese knockoff can add speech and sell the rig 
and charger for $40 or so plus shipping.
Think I'm going to buy another, and sell all my other hts except the thf6.
