I think the short answer is do what works for you. The longer answer includes some pros and cons for each.
I grab the slide because Travis told me to do it that way when he was teaching me about press outs.
Also, because on some guns the slide release is harder to reach than on others.

KG-UV920R: The Latest
So the Wouxun web page at Andrews Communications Systems in Australia has everyone stirred up again because of these lines:
"Due Jan/Feb., 2012"So Ed laid hands on one a few months ago and now Lee has, too.
"Compare to TM-D710A!"
"Lee operated a sample KG-UV920R at the October, 2011, Hong Kong fair. Yes, this transceiver does exist, hi!"
The next tidbit is that we should compare it to the Kenwood D710A, so others began speculating about APRS or packet modes.
As Andy Griffith said, "don't over expect". No APRS and no packet with the
920R. The radio is supposed to be finished in December. Don't look to purchase
one that's certified until February or March from what I was told.
Regards,
Ed

I think I am repeating myself, but time will tell.

Baofeng UV-3R: Camo
Every since we learned that the UV-3R could be had in a rainbow of colors, people have been asking if the camouflage radio was painted or if the case was actually made up of different color plastics in the mold.
We have our answer. It is painted.

Not an Academic
This is an example of why I didn't pursue being an academic:
"The paradox is to have to speak of exteriorization without a preceding interior: the interior is constituted in exteriorization."Well, lah de dah.
Ninja Librarians
My worst nightmare... government ninja librarians. I would have said zombies, but they have jumped the shark.
Quote of the Day
Slashdot had a post about the end of Listserv at AOL and it brings us this quote from Hatta:
"Yes. And USENET was just like web fora, except with all your forums under one powerful interface. And IRC was just like IM, except, well no IRC is exactly like IM.
Why did we need to invent twitter, web fora, and IM when we had Listserv, USENET, and IRC?"What is old is new again.
Google Broke My Browser
For some fun, Google "tilt" and "do a barrel roll" in Firefox or Chrome.
tim I'm fully 5 hours late to this but if you haven't already, you might want to try Googling "tilt". (via @acton inter alia) #eastereggsThu, Nov 03 13:35:02 from web
