Hi Lou;

I had a TM-V7A and, the radio does not give you a default beep however, the
default tone is 88.5

I just made a list in Braille of the tones and, I would count them.

If you get sighted assistance in putting in the first frequency with pl
encode and decode, you could always write that information into the vfo and
then count the clicks.

However, the TMG707A I understand does read out the pl tones.
