The thing that annoys me, is tuning through memories, I don't need/want to 
hear every single time I change channels, what I went to. I know where I'm 
starting from and about where I'm going, I don't need to hear 100 different 
channel numbers and frequencies if I'm too slow as I tune through them. 
There's one other thing like that too that annoys me where if I want it I'll 
push a button but I forget what it is, when I'm back on the air I'll let you 
know what it is. It's been 2 months since I've used the radio. Should be 
back on it in about a week and a half though. Maybe there should be an 
advanced user mode and beginner or something like that, I don't know.
