No just the channel number. What rig did you see? One of our members got a new one also think it's a TDX or something like that.

Unfortunately speech wasn't mentioned so I had a chat after the meeting. I've determined that these radios speak the frequency as its entered and apparently some menu items speak. As for memory channels there was some discussion as to whether they will speak just the Chanel number or frequency. We couldn't get it to speak anything other than the Chanel number. What other type of audio feedback if any should one get with these radios? Also what are the differences between the two brands? Thanks -- richard
