The user interface is actually very good. It's just very very different
from anything else and takes some getting used to.
It's all graphical. My non-ham son sat down and tried it without me telling him anything and had it going almost immediately.

My neighbor, K6TD, an excellent EE and contester, told me two years ago that the 6500 is the best radio he's ever owned, but that the UI was awful. The UI has been improved to the extent that some major contesters are pretty happy. I know of at least four 6500/5700 owners in NCCC (the SF Bay area contesters club), and all are both excellent engineers and active contesters. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec |
