Hi Joseph,

I, and Ed actually, and others, have made similar suggestions, beginning with adding more voice feedback. Wouxun seems uninterested in implementing them. One guy said they wanted a thousand radios ordered at once, but Ed told me that they pretty much told him that they wren't interested in adding more accessibility features. Still, he did pass on a couple suggestions to them from me a few months ago, which seem to have fallen on deaf ears. (I also sent the Email I sent to him, to Keisha at Wouxun, but have, of course, heard nothing at all.) So, I really don't expect things to improve with them insofar as accessibility is concerned.
