Well the point about it all is that the radio can be updated, says so in the specs I read on it so - if the radio does prove impossible to use - then perhaps some updates can be applied in the future? I've decided to take the plunge and order the radio anyway, see how far I get with it. After all! you can only try and I'm not one of those blind people who just sit and whine about how unusable everything is, even if I can only use the radio then having a rechargable radio will be a God Send, its on special at the moment and if the real worst comes to the real worst? Well I'm sure I'll find someone who can use it <smile>.
