Hi Chris,

Cool.  It is a very good but a little complicated radio to use.  I am 
sure that after you use it a while you will be on your way to having a 
very effective radio.  There used to be people who sold "cheat sheets" 
for this radio (and others) with all the settings and how to get to 
them.  I had one for this radio when I was using it.
