It would be hard for me to figure out why an HRO sales person couldn't
program a Kenwood. It's too much trouble on any radio without a
computer when you have hundreds of frequencies to input, along with
various option settings. With the free Kenwood software and a cable
it is a simple chore.

I got the impression it wasn't the computer-connected programming
issue, but remembering the "menu-structure" of all the features
when using it in the field. He said that (at least for him) the Yaesu
was easier to remember the button sequences than the Kenwood.
