   I've seen a couple of reviews, one by Gordo on the Wouxons,   
   I think in Popular Communications.   
      
   A friend of mine has the Wouxon ht's and he's rather happy   
   with them.  They can be modded to tx out of band, but I   
   understand they have the fcc stuff necessary.  i gather they even talk for us   
   blind users, and have heard some of my   
   blind ham colleagues even sing their praises.  My good   
   Kenwood dual bander is still surviving though, but I guess   
   for the price I'd probably buy one of the Wouxonsif I were   
   in the market for another ht.   
      
   About the only brand I try to avoid just snap judgment is   
   Yaesu, they're the mopst blind man unfriendly of any of them these days.  We   
   have the ft-2800m in the van, butI hate   
   having to program a new memory in that radio!
