Rich,

The most accessible is probably the Kenwood THF6A which is about what you'd
want.  I think the new Icom is also very accessible, but I haven't seen one
of those.   I own the Kenwood, and other than the receiver not being real
hot outside the ham bands, it's a nice rig.  General coverage from AM
broadcast through 1.3 gigahertz.

Is there a blind-friendly handi-talkie that covers 2 meters and 440, has
keypad entry of frequencies, has extended receive, and has at least 4 or 5
watts output power?  What about the Yaesu FT-50RD or VX-5R?
