> I don't know why with all the accessibility groups out there a cross rig talking watt meter can't be produced. 
> I'm sure that most of the manufacturers would allow their codes to be used for a price. This still shouldn't push the meter out of our reach. IE: I paid 189 for my TW-1 back in 2004. Not allot of money for the benefits it still brings to my station. 
> So if a new meter could be produced for the same price point, it would be a good thing. Instead we got Kenwood, Icomm and Elecraft doing their own thing and then there's Yaesu or Tentec who don't provide any accessibility or its placed in the low end rig as in the case of the FT-450. 
> With all the new rigs hitting the markets its a shame that not much attention is given to accessibility. 
> Hek, with computer control as advanced as it is, I don't know why a Ham Software vender hasn't released a cross rig complete blind friendly accessibility tool, one that could give us the complete menus, an all of the other parameters that the sighted hams have. 
> I think the closest thing was HRD and TX-manager but even they required some work arounds. LOL
