Scott,

I haven't finished reading it yet, and I've had the radio for more than a 
year.  I found it useful to braille a list of the menus and keep it as a 
ready reference near the radio.  Even though I remember the menus I use, 
there are others which I hardly ever change, and therefore don't remember at 
all.  BTW, I've heard of several sighted hams who say they have to keep 
manuals nearby or they'll be lost.

Steve
