Hi PeterO and PT;
Second all that about the ATS505,  but add a caveat, these radios suck a lot
of battery power because of the little microprocessor on board.
[ You pay for the digital dial up frequency goodies with a battery drain
penalty ].
I am prepared to pay for the advantage of dialing in a frequency, or being
able to bring it up out of memory.
But, hey, what is a handful of AA batteries in the greater sum of things?
Cheers, PeterR
