Butch, I would appreciate a list of the Kenwood 990 functions too if you
wouldn't mind.  Thanks much

Yep, it is quite a radio.  I'm still learning mine.  Talks very well
though.  BTW, if you want a numbered listing of the assignable functions, I
can send you one.  When you go into the menu to assign them, all it speaks
are numbers, although the screen tells you what it is.  The manual lists
these, but didn't number them.  I added numbers, so I can tell what number
does what.
