Two questions about the Kenwood, do they make a drop-in charger 
for that HT and, that model has been around for many years, any 
notion when Kenwood might come out with a new model, but then 
why, if this one's working so well.  73, Jim WA6EKS

Richard,
Absolutely acccessible.  As a totally blind guy I am very 
comfortable
with the transceiver.  There is free Kenwood software which is 
nice
also but I've always preferred to program mine from the front
panel.  And yesm, DTMF.
There is the new generation of Chinese, inexpensive handhelds 
which
have some speech and are reputed to be pretty accessible but I've 
had
almost no experience with them.  When all is said and done, the 
old,
rugged, reliable Kenwood is a great way to go.

Hi!



Generally, I am wondering about how accessible this HT is?  Does 
anyone have
some experience they can share?  What about PC software which may 
be used to
program it; and which is accessible, of course?  Does this HT 
have DTMF
functionality for use with EchoLink (and other types) nodes?
