Hi John:

I do have the THD7AG handheld but it is not as accessable as the TH6.
Yes, it can be used for sky command but I have never yet done it
successfully.
I think you would have to have sighted help.
Once it is set up, then perhaps you could turn it on and off, I think.
Handihams have the manual for the THD7AG recorded on CD.
Its quite good.
If you have any other questions, I will try to answer them for you, if I
can, John.
