cool  how do you like yours besides the non blind friendly aspects?  is i easy to know what channel you are on at least, and what kid of receive coverage does it have?  sometimes receive coverage can help if you program a channel tha you know is always actie like weather, but that only works if you ca lock out that channel from the scan list. otherwise it is  just annoying.
