The 920R has been out on the market for a couple months now.
I think it has about the same amount of speech as the wouxun HT's.
That is, most of hte menus indicate their state one way or another, you get
speech feedback when you press keys and you can get memory channel number
spoken...of course, it still doesn't read frequency in the VFO mode.
