I like my ts2000x and I find it accesible.

I'm not so sure about that. At least the new FT-450 claims to have  
speech that reads freq/mode/S-meter, or something. Whether this is a  
trend or a token remains to be seen.

BTW, Eric, if you wanna talk about companies who don't make accessible  
radios, Ten-Tec is right up there these days, unfortunately, Way back  
when the Argonaut V first came out, I enquired about its accessibility  
and was given what we call in the biz "the royal brush-off". Sorry, a  
computer isn't a good answer unless you don't mind being leashed to  
one. whether you're using it or not.
