I think Phil has a 7000, and from what I gather, it isn't the most blind=20
friendly radio.  There is a qsyer key pad available which might help=20 you.
As far as a talking watt meter, I don't know of anything.  As was=20 in a
previous note, ldg made one, but it is no longer available.  Over=20 the
years, the kenwood line of radios have been much more accessible for=20 us.
