Hi.

The level of menu programming involved, and the possibilities for
accidentally setting something and not realizing it, or having a hard time
figuring out how to unset it is what would frighten me away from the
radio.  I am currently using a Standard C528, which doesn't have the
general coverage receiver, but with the exception of programming the PL
tones, it is beautifully laid out for a blind operator, with hi and lo
beeps to tell you when you have enabled or disabled a feature.  So, I guess
I am disinclined to purchase the radio.
