I'll third that motion.


I do tire of trying to read the fine print on the itty-bitty buttons while driving and moving about. These radios must have been made for being parked with a girl under your arm (I don't need to say more).


And why all the flashing lights and stuff like scrolling text even when the radio isn't on for use? I had a Sony that was always scrolling stuff until I'd turn it to off from sleep. Stupid design concept but I guess the marketing folks wanted it.
