Thank you. That helps a lot.
These have the potential for being about as accessible
as one could reasonably want. The one I was recently looking at
announced the channel numbers as one turned the selector and
that is extremely helpful especially if you are not sure if you
bumped it or not.
One kind of interesting anecdote. Here in Stillwater,
some of the emergency services workers use the Wouxun
commercial-grade transceivers and one of the radios will
sometimes spontaneously switch to announcing the channel in
Chinese. The technician reprograms it back to what it was and it
will work for a while and then revert to its native tongue once
again. I imagine it has a sick CPU or more likely some bad memory. I believe
the person who told me about this said it still worked fine as a
radio. Let's hope it doesn't totally loose its marbles and start
scanning in transmit mode or something.
We had a Motorola base station, here, that did something
like that once. Talk about a fox hunt. It's synthesizer went
totally bonkers and it stepped through thousands of frequencies
from 2 meters up to whatever and that system cost big Bucks.
