Hi John and All,
Ok, I decided to take the plunge into DMR. I've ordered the Tyte MD380 which
is a UHF radio in the 400-480MHz band. It sells for around $170 US. I expect
to receive it in mid October.

I'll let you all know how I go.
Cheers,
Barry VK6SP.

I would say you're not going to find a radio that does both bands in one
radio but if you do it would be for a price that few could afford. I don't
know how accessible they are but being commercial radios, most likely
they're made to be simple because you never know who might be using them. I
find that most commercial radios aren't too bad since they're limited in
function and you don't care much about menus because you have to hook up to
the computer for everything else anyway there's not much in the menu you
need to change regularly.

Dear All,
I am interested in trying DMR radio on the 144-148MHz and 430-450MHz bands.

Are there any radios available which have at least reasonable accessibility
for a totally blind person on either or both of these bands?

Thanks for any suggestions.
