Bob:
Which HRO outlet was this?
It is interesting that they all seem to have different policies regarding
the chip installation issue.
On the one hand, I can see where someone might wrongly take advantage of the
service by claiming that they are blind when they really are not.
On the other hand, installing the chips usually doesn't take much time, and
I think a willingness to perform the service probably does more good for
customer relations than anything else.

When I ordered mine, HRO was going to charge $25.00 to install the VGS1, so
I told them that I would install it as I have installed all of the other
voice boards for my other rigs.

Hi Steve,
Yes, HRO in Portland is installing the VGS1's in both the 590 and the TM-V71
I also ordered.
Take care all and very 73.

HRO in New Hampshire usually installs boards for me. The only time they
didn't was when I ordered my TS-2000 and they had it shipped from the
Atlanta store. I think Atlanta just didn't want to do it. Fortunately, the
chip was easy to install, but I can tell you I was very nervous about doing
it.
