Bob:

I'd recommend the Kenwood TMV71A.

It's a mobile VHF/UHF dual-band rig, with, I believe, 45 watts on 2 meters
and 50 watts on 440.

Virtually all functions and menu items speak, with the installation of the
VGS1 voice chip.

Subject: Most Accessible VHF, UHF, Or Combination

Sorry for my earlier posting on this topic.  While I have set this computer
to eliminate unwanted characters in the text, I was in the hospital and was
using a Braille computer and didn't know how to correct the problem.  I am
looking to sell my present ICOM 746Pro and get a radio without HF.  I wear
implanted electronic hearing processors on both sides and can not understand
SSB any longer and CW was never my piece of cake.  With all of that said,
could someone recommend the most accessible VHF, UHF radio for me.  Have the
BAOFENG which I use but want a bit more quality and output power.
Thanks!
