I think you're thinking of the FT736 by yaesu, that was a VHF/UHF radio. The 
IC-736 icom is HF probably from the 80's.

none of them are as accessible as most kenwood radios, but they are
accessible enough with patients.
The IC7100 is the least accessible...I think the IC736 is an all mode
VHF/UHF rig which you can put a speech chip into, though I may be miss
remembering that model...the IC7000 is all menu based, but again, with
patients and some sighted help it's doable.

Hi all, I was having a QSO with an older chap who has a few Icom radios, an=
IC736, and IC7000, and an ic7100 and maybe a few others and wants to raise=
some cash for medical reasons. Has any blind ham been able to use any of t=
hese models and is there any means of accessibility in these or any other m=
odels. If so I may help him out and take one off of his hands.
Thanks
