Hi Howard,

There is an accessibility evaluation of the 7200 at:

http://active-elements.org/2012/12/15/ic-7200-accessibility-review/

It answers some, but not all of your questions, and I was lent it by Icom so
long ago, I can't remember any more.  Although it has a voice chip, the menu
is not spoken, and I don't recall it having the facia buttons for everything
you mention.  Rereading the review, I see it was pretty good on
accessibility!

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

I hear that our CW station this year will be an ic-7200.  I am hoping that 
speech is installed but I don't know.

I hear that the DSP is good.

Questions:

1.  Can I switch the paddles in a menu?
2.  How do I adjust the band width?
3.  How do I adjust the keying speed?
4.  Is their an internal antenna tuner?

5.  Can I adjust the peek frequency for listening and for the side tone?

I like my CW around 400 KHZ.



6.  What else should I know about the Icom 7200 for CW field day operation?
