I find it interesting that a “touch” interface seems to be popular with radios and some users. It is certainly useful on a device like a smart phone and even a pad and some other kinds of interfaces (e.g. bank ATM screen). But, a touch screen for a radio that already has uses for actual dials and buttons seems to me to be unnecessary. And, that does not even consider the fact that touch screens need to be periodically cleaned from oily finger prints.
Of course, this is indeed an unsolicited opinion and comment. 73, phil, K7PEH > On Apr 26, 2016, at 1:29 PM, Jim Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Tue,4/26/2016 1:12 PM, James D.
