Hi Matt and all. Unfortunately, Yaesu does not believe in accessability.
They only make 3 radios that offer speech, the first dual band mobile
they ever brought out, the FT2700, the FT3600, which there big
multi-band multi-mode base station and the FT847 which was a HF rig with
6 and 2 on it, I think.
After they brought that one out, I thought there was hope for them, but
no luck. I heard somewhare that someone at Yaesu made a comment that
most blind folks can't aford those high dollar rigs anyway, so why make
them accessable, which in my opinion was pretty patronizing. I have a
couple of Yaesu radios, which were gifts, a FT101ZD and a FT470, but I
will never buy a new Yaesu radio, unless they change there aditude!
Have a good one eveyone:
J. J.
