Gary,

it's the latest build of Jaws 11.  Bob K3UL uses it with Window Eyes and 
doesn't seem to have a problem so I guess it's a Jaws issue.  Been meaning 
to grab NVDA for some time and this is one more reason to do it. Other than 
the access issues, I'm delighted with the rig's performance.  They just 
added an APF feature which makes it an even better CW rig. I'm thinking of 
possibly looking for some one with programming ability who might be looking 
for a good project which of course is writing a program to give us menu 
access.  Lou WA3MIX
