Subject: Re: Stpeech guide output on the Ts2000 and Ts480?

The 2000 really isn't that complicated to operate.  The things that 
don't speak beep at the bottom and top, they don't roll over, so all you 
have to do is count clicks.  Are we really that spoiled.  I suppose I am 
as well, I love the 480 and particularly the 590, but when I first got 
on the air, I had a hundred kc crystal clibrator and I counted the turns 
of the knob to get close.  For tuning I placed a little portable broad 
cast radio, found a birdie or a beat of my output and peaked for 
loudest.  I love all this talking stuff as much as the next person and 
I'm considerably lazier, but seriously, the 2000 isn't that hard to 
learn.  I will say though, in my opinion, and yes I have all three, in 
order of dsp technology, 2000 comes in third, 480 second and the 590 is 
tops.
