Hi Jim et al,

SO I'm slowly building a profile of what to look for:
*	The Elecraft Kx3 is good though too pricey, 
*	the Kenwood TH-f7e is good but soooo hard to get here in Australia,
*	We don't have concensus on any Icom handhelds so far,
*	 Stay away from the Yaesu handhelds, 
*	The Tyt TH-UVF9 is reasonably accessible but you need to program via
cable which is in itself frustrating,
*	The Puxing 973 is quite accessible but hard to get in Australia, 
*	the Baofengs are illegal in australia, really, there don't seem to
be many options. 

Joe

Yes. The KX3 is great! I have been using one since they first came out.

Has anyone tried the Elecraft kx3 for accessibility? It sounds promising.

I tried, got frustrated after a while and sold the thing.
