My late wife had her own version of that.
She told me to keep my sermon short and threatened to raise a sign with KISS -keep it short stupid- on it when I took the pulpit.
And so, true to her word as I began my sermon she raised the sign with a grin on her face. I fear her sign was better received than my sermon.

I do DMR & D-STAR & no Computer is involved with either just my Shark Open Spot.I refuse to do any mode that does not require me talking into an external microphone or the radio microphone such as an HT.I have an ICOM 7600 that sends & decodes RTTY & PSK & I have less than ZERO interest in either so it will never be used as long as I own it.I learned CW just so I could Upgrade to General Class before they started giving the license away.When small children can pass the tests it's not much of a test.I do NOT use CW & never will & I have forgotten what I learned & never intended to use it.I collect microphones & I like using them anytime I am on the air on any band.LONG LIVE PHONE! {:>)

I was taught that the Good Lord is in charge when you are speaking on HIS behalf & we should STOP when HE is done have HIS message being delivered to all in range of the messenger.My dad was a Southern Baptist Preacher for almost 70 years before he passed away so I heard a lot of those messages.

Ahh, Six. Now I never said I paid the sign any attention. But the joking and fun was well worth remembering. She, herself, spent many an hour playing the piano and singing gospel songs. She had a deep sense of the value of what we did. Yet, she had a lovely sense of humor.
Don't get rid of the Cobra 19. You can rob them for parts and the covers can be cut up to make L brackets for other projects.
What kind of soldering iron are you using? I tried one of these and the radio never worked right again.
So Homer I got my license too. Expanded from 11 meters to all the other bands. Got into FT8 pretty quick. Still though I see and agree with your sentiments. I have not done any work with Chirp. Doubt I ever will. I can do a programming stint by hand but I don't really care much for it. I bought a Yeasu FT-726R radio because I loved the old school base radio looks of it. I don't really use all of its functionality. It has a 144 board in it as well as a 440 board. Has one other I can't even recall but I think it is for satellite. Won't ever do that probably. Have not done any 440 yet. 146.52 is my usual hang out frequency. Still though the just plain downright simplicity of using the 726R is really great. The most complicated thing is setting the tone for the repeater. It has some memory slots that I have programmed repeater frequencies into. I still have to twist a knob for offset and set the tone after selecting repeaters from the memory knob. Still it is less complex to use than the HT units I have. Programmng those can be a bit cumbersome. Each HT has its own method of being programmed which kind of annoys this old fart but I guess that is just how it is. Using that old 726R is more fun to do than the HT anyway. It only has 10 watts out but I have to tell you it gets out as far as a lot of 50 watt units guys around me use. Oh and the receive on it is just short of amazing. So yeah simpler is better is what I am really getting at. Menu diving isn't one of my favorite things about radios.
It's the programming that really sets me off. Then you discover that the program you used to help with that did not import all the repeaters available from repeater book...
So, I just got bent sideways...

I think you actually have a YAESU 726R NOT a YEASU because they are Super RARE & some believe they are Mythical since nobody has seen a picture of even one. LOL If you actually have a YEASU Please share a few pictures. {:>)
