I doubt you would find the ts2000 frustrating at all.
even without speech, mike gain, rf power output, PL tones and all the rest
are easy enough to figure out counting clicks on the multi-select knob...and
none of those settings wrap, and there is a beep at each end to let you know
your lower and upper limits.
Most functions are easily accessed with one or two button presses and there
is nothing confusing about using the radio at all.
A whole lot more accessible than even an IC7000 and lots of blind hams
successfully use those all the time.
