Hi Pat!

Can you please reply with exactly what software you use to program this HT,
and maybe a link to where it might be downloaded?

Many thanks & 73,
Richard KK6MRH

Richard,
Absolutely acccessible.  As a totally blind guy I am very comfortable with
the transceiver.  There is free Kenwood software which is nice also but I've
always preferred to program mine from the front panel.  And yesm, DTMF.
There is the new generation of Chinese, inexpensive handhelds which have
some speech and are reputed to be pretty accessible but I've had almost no
experience with them.  When all is said and done, the old, rugged, reliable
Kenwood is a great way to go.
