Hi all,

I am now thinking of purchasing a used small rig for our boat and for
traveling.  I am particularly interested in the Kenwood TS-50 and the Alinco
DX-70TH.  For those who may not know I am totally blind.

Now, for the question.  Can anyone on the list speak to the accessibility of
either of these for a totally blind person?  From what I have heard the
TS-50 can be programmed by entering the frequency from the microphone and
the DX-70 supposedly does not use menus for anything but the set up
functions but I don't know this first hand.  I also don't know if the DX-70
can use direct frequency entry.  Can anyone speak to either of these
questions?  I really don't want to look at anything else because of cost and
size so would really appreciate help on these two.

Thanks much and I look forward to all of your good information.

Kevin, K7RX :)
