Easy. Just learn to program it by hand.

Hi
     Honestly, I was considering on buying one of their hand helds until I
was reading on the list about all the troubles getting programming software
that works. Now, I am not sure what to do.

God bless,
Mark

God Loves you!

Hi Joseph,

I, and Ed actually, and others, have made similar suggestions, beginning =
with adding more voice feedback. Wouxun seems uninterested in = implementing
them. One guy said they wanted a thousand radios ordered at = once, but Ed
told me that they pretty much told him that they wren't = interested in
adding more accessibility features. Still, he did pass on = a couple
suggestions to them from me a few months ago, which seem to = have fallen on
deaf ears. (I also sent the Email I sent to him, to = Keisha at Wouxun, but
have, of course, heard nothing at all.) So, I = really don't expect things
to improve with them insofar as accessibility = is concerned.
