Two questions about the Kenwood, do they make a drop-in charger
for that HT and, that model has been around for many years, any
notion when Kenwood might come out with a new model, but then
why, if this one's working so well. 73, Jim WA6EKS

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.
Pat, K9JAU
p s and there is a load of documentation at the usual sites.At

Hi!
Generally, I am wondering about how accessible this HT is? Does
anyone have
some experience they can share? What about PC software which may
be used to
program it; and which is accessible, of course? Does this HT
have DTMF
functionality for use with EchoLink (and other types) nodes?
