I'll keep that in mind are there any issues with JAWS I need to be aware of?

  it does so how do you drive it around? JAWS13 and Win7 on this machine =
but I'm damned if I can tell
  what I am doing with that bloody software.  I'd like to be able to use =
that software if possible as
  programming that radio manually can be a right pain in the arse!

      first depending on who you bought it from you may get it open =
across =3D
  =3D3D
    its range so be mindful of that
      and don't accidently transmit on the local NOAA freq.  You're =
going =3D
  to =3D3D
    find that the 6 radios are
      narrow band compliant.  This means the transmiter will also =
transmit =3D
  =3D3D
    FMN and the receiver will tune
      FMN as well.  In the frequency step menu which is menu 1 option 0 =
=3D
  will =3D3D
    set your tuning step to 2.5
      kHZ.  My 6d appears to skip menu 27 and I cant get any guidance as =
=3D
  to =3D3D
    why this is so I will be
      interested to see if yours does the same thing.  Like all of these =
=3D
  =3D3D
    radios, yours will come up
      talking so no problem there. The 6d looks feels and acts like a =
=3D3D
    commercial radio even down to the
      carrier drop.  Anyone who has had any experience with Motorola or =
=3D
  =3D3D
    Vertex commercial radios should
      know what I am talking about.  In closing:  In my experience and I =
=3D
  =3D3D
    have only had the thing just
      under 2 weeks it won't take you long to get it up on the air at =
all. =3D
   =3D3D
    One more thing about the
      menus; The menus you are likely to use most frequently are the =
ones =3D
  =3D3D
    which are communicative.  Menus
      1 2 3 4 7 8 9 and the menus which control offset offset direction =
=3D
  and =3D3D
    memory reading and writing.
      Hope that helps and let us know how you get on. =3D3D20
