the UV6D can also be programmed from the keyboard and mine had out of the box a fully open
transmitter.  It not only makes full power within the amateur allocation but it's also type A for
part 90 operation as well.

The uv5 can be programmed from the key board, a little tricky but not to bad once you get the hang
of it.  I don't know if you can on the others or not.  AS I understand it, for the radio to be type
accepted, keyboard programming isn't supposed to be available, but for some reason the uv5-r
sslipped through.

oh yes, and the last I knew, none of the free programming software is usable with speech, I bought
the rt systems which cost me more than the radio, but worth it.
