I love mine. I went though 3 radios before I got it and I really think it will be the last radio I own. I think its one of the best Futaba Radios you can get without spending over $1,000. I know that it will do everything that I will ever need. To me it is very esay to program, but I am pretty good at menu driven things anyway. I really dont have anything bad to say about it. $100 is a killer deal with the synthesized module.
