Also, do you really want to give a radio with buttons on it to a untrained radio operator ( City of Needville. I assume this to be not for a trained person to use. ) One wrong button push and who knows where the radio will transmit.
We use radios at the BBQ cook off that have buttons on them but all are locked out when the radio is programmed. But I still see the users pushing the buttons to see what they do.
