Hi!

I don't use Wiondows Eyes but the programming software for TS2k and IC T90A 
is Jaws friendly. The IC T90A can read out the actual frequency in morse 
code. I don't think its posible to change the CTCSS/PL tones by keypad but 
its very easy to change the tones with the multi function key on the TS2k. 
You don't have to go thru the menu becase there are shortcuts on the the 
keypad. I have never changed tones directly on the IC T90A but I think there 
is a way to change the tones with out going thru the menu. Both radios is 
very accesible. The only minus is too much talk from the speech synthesizer 
on the TS2k. But of course we first of all have to be happy that the radio 
have speech support at all :-)
