Yeah it's nice that they went this route. Especially nice because I've
got several gadgets now that all use NiMH AAs...can always swap out
when one needs charging!

So far the only thing I don't like about the radio is that the keys
aren't backlit. Not a huge issue, but it'd be nice.

I went ahead and registered the programming software from Uniden. It's
pretty crappy (hopefully Butel's will be better!) But even with it
being sucky, it's pretty much necessary. Programming this thing by
hand would be unbearable.

Oh ya I love the NiMH batteries, I use them in everything now days.
I would imagine someone will come up with some better software shortly as
long as the radios sell which they should. I only care about the local
police here so I have never bothered with getting software for my 95, I just
liked the way this one looked to be so much smaller. Will make it easier to
carry.
