Hi Bob&All, You got a Good Info Sheet, With enough "sighted only" stuff to 
make it frustrating.  But they did give a phone number for customer service, 
and Most likely if you call the number given and explain what you need help 
with, and your lack of sight, someone will help you.  I've found that most 
of the time, when approached properly, most people want to be of help, but 
may not know exactly how to get you the information you neede.  Also, check 
Icanworkthisthing.com and handihams, Between the two of them, and folks on 
this list, you'll likely find what you need.  I've never had my hands on 
either a THF6, a thk2at, or a pucsinkt, so I'm sorry I can't be of any real 
assistance there.  Danny Dyer, Wb4idu
