Kenwoods by far are the best for anyone who is visually impaired.
I have operated many amateur and commercial kenwoods, and they're awesome.
Forget yaesu, they suck in the accessability department.

I have no experience with yaesu, except for the ft23r hand held I had a few
years back.
All I will say is I will never get yaesu, the only neat thing was you could
set it to monitor two channels, switching between them every few seconds

Subject: yasoo and kinwood radios?

hello I purchased 20 raffle tickets for the local ham fest even though I
will be out of town I purchased the tickets.
there giving away 3 radios
2 yasoo and one kinwood
was wondering if the yasoo was any good for a blind person?
they told me I didn't have to be there and that they would call me and let
me know if I won.
it really sucks to I wanted to go to this ham fest but I had this trip
planned out and the tickets all ready baught before I new about the ham fest

anyways I was wondering if any of you can comment on the yasoo line of
radios.
depending on what radio my ticket is assigned to I may end up with one of
these. so would like any ideas. on the accessibility.
thanks, and wish me luck :)
Hank
