As far as I know, touch-screens cannot be easily be navigated by
unsighted operators.
How would touch-screens be implemented in keeping with Elecraft's
promise to allow handicapped operators full access to the operation of
the Elecraft line of products?

As a private pilot I fly with a Garmin GTN750 touch-screen GPS NAV/COM
in a Cessna 182. Its powerful and quite intuitive to use, even in
turbulence. (They included ridges along the four screen sides when
needed to steady your hand.) It actually reduces the amount pilot load
and time spent looking inside the cockpit when used properly - Though
you can certainly abuse it dangerously if you treat it like a video
game and forget to look outside the cockpit.. I wouldn't go any
other way now. (And I came from a full-on knobs based flight
environment prior to that.)
