Joe,
At this time the king of accessible HTs is the Kenwood TH-D74A. It
covers 144/222/440MHZ in FM and DStar. The radio in addition has a
general coverage receiver which includes AM, FM narrow and wide, SSB and CW.
The rig is accessible as it comes with speech capability built in. The
menus and settings are spoken and even the callsign readout using DStar
is spoken.
Then comes the plethora of hand-helds from China, Baofeng,
Wouxun, and a whole bunch more that have limited speech readout but can
still be programmed by a blind person with a little memorization of key
commands.
Finally if you can still get it on the used market there is the Kenwood
TH-F6A. It doesn't have speech readout but the radio beeps at different
frequencies when moving through the menus and settings. By memorizing
a blind person can independently program this radio.
The TH-F6A covers 144/222/440MHZ in FM and also has a general coverage
receiver.
I hope this helps.
