RJ, what part of Fla. Do you live in? I live in Inverness,which is about 35
miles SW of Ocala.  Be glad to help you in any way I can.  Ham radio is a
great hobby and always something new to learn.

Good evening, R j. My name is Doug. My ham call is N6NFF and I live in
Sacramento, California. I'm a total and I operate a Kenwood t m v 71 a. It
is a very usable radio for the blind because it has a speech chip. Others
on this list have other radios they use which are user friendly for the
blind. 
Welcome to the list and good luck when you take your test. 73. Doug
Emerson, N6NFF
