A kenwood TS-440? expensive??  not compared to most HF radios, I actually
had 2 of them and loved them butthen I bought the TS-570DG and liked that
better and then I got a great deal on a TS-940 and liked that a little
better still, but the 440 is really a great radio and very accessible to the
blind, very easy to use.
