Hi, I have successfully used an early version of RT Systems 
software to program my Yaesu Vx5r HT.  It's the only way I can 
program that rig.  A friend bought a VX7 a few years back and I 
installed his RT Systems software and found it Totally unusable 
with both Jaws and WindowEyes.  I just replied to RT Systems 
yesterday after receiving an ad from them about their new 
software that can program many of the new HT's complaining about 
it's inaccessibility or incompatibility with screen readers.  
They wrote back and claim that it works with NVDA.  I have no 
experience with that screen reader.  When I pointed out to both 
GW Micro and RT systems a few years ago that the ham software did 
not work, each company looked at it and from what I remember, 
blamed each other for the issues which meant that nothing 
productive happened  to fix the issue.  Having said that, I still 
use and love my old RT Systems software which is why when I had 
the chance, I bought another used VX5r.  That's my 2.5 cents.

Subject: A question about programming software rt systems

    Hello to the list.
Another question about programming software.
This question is for the hams who use screen reading software 
just as I do.
How accessible are these programs from rt systems to Window Eyes, 
Jaws and
nvda?
Someone had mentioned that the menus and some of the programs 
functions were
not all that usable but I wonder if there is a work around.
If anyone has experience on how this software can be used and 
possible work
arounds to get it to work please let me know.
I would be interested in any experiences screen reader users have 
had with
these rt systems programs.
I am looking at the Kenwood and Icom options in buying a new 
radio but I am
interested in hearing about all the rt systems programming 
software.
