Hi John.

I use a Kenwood TS-690S with the AT-450 auto tuner, and the Kenwood VS-2
synthesizer with good results.  I also use the Icom IC-706 Mk II.  The Icom
is not as friendly, because it is rather menu driven, and the menus do not
talk, of course.

I think I have heard of blind users that have the Icom 746, but I haven't
experienced this radio yet.  I will say that I like the Icom IC-706, even
though it is a little bit of a challenge to use sometimes.

73, de Lou K2LKK
