Now, to push the envelope, I live in an area where Icannot put up an extremely visible antenna. What recommendations might youhave for HF antennas that hide fairly easily?

Some other rigs canprovide readout of frequency and mode, but not much else. I use a YaesuFT950 transceiver which has a really large number of controls and can giveyou an indication of what's going on with various beeps. I sometimesinterface it with a computer when I want to read or control frequency, orset some of its menu parameters. Jim Shaffer, KE5AL, has written a Windowsprogram for controlling certain transceivers. And Rob Santangelo, K6DQ, hasdeveloped custom boxes called Hampods which provide readout of manyfunctions for several types of ham equipment and accessories. A talkingwattmeter from LDG Electronics has gone back into production after a lapseof 10 years.I don't keep track of VHF equipment much, but know that the newer Kenwoodtransceivers have a lot of accessibility built in. Several of the low-costChinese-built transceivers also have speech, but I don't know how easy theyare to use.Lloyd Rasmussen, W3IUU, Kensington, MD-----Original Message-----From: Mike Hingson via nfb-talkSent: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 7:19 PMTo: 'NFB Talk Mailing List'Cc: mike at michaelhingson.comSubject: Re: [nfb-talk] Ham RadioI'd love to get the same info.WB6NHM-----Original Message-----From: nfb-talk <nfb-talk-bounces at nfbnet.org> On Behalf Of Michael Bullis vianfb-talkSent: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 3:43 PMTo: nfb-talk at nfbnet.orgCc: Michael Bullis <bullis.michael at gmail.com>Subject: [nfb-talk] Ham RadioHello:I'm looking to communicate with blind amateur radio operators about what 2meter and hf radios are accessible.Please contact me off-list.Thanks.Bullis.michael at gmail.com <mailto:Bullis.michael at gmail.com>_______________________________________________nfb-talk mailing listnfb-talk at nfbnet.orghttp://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-talk_nfbnet.orgTo unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info fornfb-talk:http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfb-talk_nfbnet.org/mike%40michaelhingson.com_______________________________________________nfb-talk mailing listnfb-talk at nfbnet.orghttp://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-talk_nfbnet.orgTo unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info fornfb-talk:http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfb-talk_nfbnet.org/lras%40sprynet.com _______________________________________________nfb-talk mailing listnfb-talk at nfbnet.orghttp://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-talk_nfbnet.orgTo unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info fornfb-talk:http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfb-talk_nfbnet.org/mike%40michaelhingson.com_______________________________________________nfb-talk mailing listnfb-talk at nfbnet.orghttp://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-talk_nfbnet.orgTo unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nfb-talk:http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfb-talk_nfbnet.org/braillemaster89%40gmail.com
