is it simple to operate?

Yes it is. The manual does a good job of explaining all the features of the device.

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being hard i would say about a 5. Not hard to use. Hard to configure!

Short answer... No. Are you a ham radio operator? If you are licensed it should take you long to figure it out as it's pretty intuitive with its features. If you are not a ham, it will take a long time to figure out.

You have to get used to the menus which are in alphabetical order. Then you can program it easily, especially for repeaters. If you just want to listen to a certain frequency like NOAA , you just punch it in like a phone. The manual shows you how to do everything. If you get the USB cable, you can program it from a computer.

Honestly I don't like handhelds after trying. Yaesuis the easiest cause there is a good program for setting frequencies. I just preferred a one or two band model for simplicity . Good luck

Reasonably easy, depending on your TV. I find it (the HDMI control TV-to-Receiver) to be a bit clunky, but it CAN work.

Yes and yes. It is quite simple to use with excellent performance. It is one the best at this level and price I've experienced.

Yes, pretty easy. It has a lot of "possible" connections on the back to allow for different system types. But everything is labeled clearly and explained in the instructions.
1032554
Yes, easily. That's how I prefer to use it, actually. It has push button activation.

You can, but it's not real easy. This is a VERY basic system with almost no bells and whistles.
1026255
You can. You'll have to manually program it for what you want to do though.

Yes it is very easy, be sure to notify the monitoring company that you will be opening your control panel first!

No, it is quite easy. simple hand tools are all that are required (screwdriver, pliers, etc)

Extremely easy. Operation is identical to regular Keurigs with exception of being able to select serving size by oz's and you can set your own brew temperature (+/- 5f band from original setpoint)

As I said in my review: it can be TOO easily activated! The first day I had this case, I put the phone in my pocket inverted (to protect the headset plug connected to the bottom of the phone) and it powered ITSELF on -- enough times, with failed security pattern, to RESET ITSELF. So, yes, the power button is VERY easy to operate. (I fixed this by removing the case's power button "insert" altogether. It's not all that recessed...but enough to avoid accidental operation.)

No. It was super easy. I bought it because I am in the US for just a few weeks and it has totally served its purpose. Could not have been simpler.

Yes, it's very easy to program. Basically all you need to know is what kind you need. Meaning the 10 key or 8 key. Once you figure that part out you can program it yourself by taking the back off and putting in your code.

Yes, super easy to do. If you haven't bought the laptop yet, I would recommend something else.

It's actually very easy. I have never had a problem operating them! Zero mishaps.

yes, its very easy to figure it out. Took me all about 2 minutes, dont even need the instructions.

Yes I have found it user friendly and easy to use once running through the user manual. If you spend the time required to study the user manual and practice with the unit, you will be up and running without much further need to refer to the manual. All functions and features can be accessed quickly and easily once you are familiar with the unit. It isnt something you can just pick up out of the box and totally proficient with all functions intuitively though, it it quite advanced with some great features.
