When importing from data sources, I cannot check or uncheck individual items<br>2. I cannot simply shift values down one channel (moving 3 to 2 ,
etc.).<br><br>I use Ubuntu 13 precise (LTS version) with all packages updated. I also use ORCA screen reader as I am blind. SO, any chance of changing this so it works a little more nicely?<br><br>btw, I am not the only blind ham around here that may have to use software to program a chinese radio (or even one of the others for that matter).. A lot of us (and there are quite a few thousand of us here in the US) would certainly appreciate it if the developer would address the accessibility issue on windows or OS X (as not many of us use Linux). Those of us blind hams who do use Linux would certainly appreciate a few small changes in the interface to make it a little more screen reader (using ORCA or emacspeak) friendly.<br><br>there is an FAQ here: <a href="http://empowermentzone.com/NonvisualDevelopmentFAQ.htm" target="_blank">http://empowermentzone.com/NonvisualDevelopmentFAQ.htm</a><br><br>there is an entry for python scripting there that would
