Hello and thank you for your note,

I am blind and I have used the Icom, IC-T90A for over a year.  Almost all
of the functions are useable with one hand and the CW read out makes the
hand held the most useable hand held on the market.

The price is down to just over $200, the receiver is great and a guide and
manual can be found on,
www.icanworkthisthing.com

I hope this will be of some help.

Thanks and 73.
