I use a homebrew program to drive my TS590.  It has all the 590 menus in it
now.  It puts up a list of the menu items, along with a text description of
each, and allows you to change the values of each menu item.  I'd be willing
to work with anyone wishing to try it out.

  The text files are probably all you will need.  But Harold, W9DIK, is
having Horizons for the Blind (Chicago area) transcribe the TS590 manual
into multiple braille volumes.  I don't know when or if the work is
completed, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind selling more copies of this
transcription.  For more information, ask W9DIK the next time you find him
on one of the nets.  I don't think he does e-mail.

Subject: Menu info for Kenwood 480/590

Has anyone produced either a Braille or text file version of the menus and
their choices for the Kenwood 480 or 590?  I just picked up a super clean
480SAT which I will use exclusively on six meters to drive my legal limit
amp, and a local blind ham is going to buy a 590, and has asked me to help
him learn to use the radio.  Having an accessible version of the menus and
their choices would therefore be of great help.



Thanks for any replies.
