Well, there you go! I own a KX-1 (actually two of them!), and I didn't know it was that "user friendly" to the blind. Obviously I haven't read the manual thoroughly! So what else is new?
Carry on, you patron saints, and don't forget to post a list of what might be helpful to blind hams. I can't imagine that I don't have something here that would be an appropriate contribution, and my wife would thrilled if I reduced my collection of goodies.

Can you describe this feature and what it can be used for? A: The KX1 includes full audio CW feedback on switch press, including in the menus and for frequency readout. This feature allows the KX1 to be used in situations where you can't conveniently look at the LED display, such as when operating mobile (bike or car). It also provides a backup to the display for use in very bright sunlight. Finally, it will make the KX1 immediately accessible by blind hams, a community that very much benefits from ham radio. We're happy to be able to help them out. -- Moe - AB8XA Elecraft KX1 #2484, Fists #13020, SKCC #7460, FPQRP #2617, NAQCC #5352, QRP-ARCI #14326 On May 17, 2011, at 10:29 PM, David Yarnes wrote: > ...a KX-1???
