Oh yeah Walt, I totally agree.  I'd never by any Yaesu HF gear, as good as
it is as far as overall quality. If it was more accessible, then I would,
sure.

I agree. I think that any blind hams should boycott Yaesu entirely because
of their outright hostility to our needs. It's not that they simply ignore
us, but that they actively fight us.

Reeva,
Personally, I wouldn't  go for any yaesu equipment.  Never worked with any,
but I think a lot of people on this list would be in agreement that it is
inaccessible, and that Yaesu does not strive for accessibility.  Like it was
stated earlier, I would definitely go with Kenwood, and go with the TH-f6a
if you want a nice HT.  I've had one for about the last year, and I love it.
Hope that helps.  73
