@douglas2005 A blind person can operate that radio as you can enter frequencies directly, but some aspects of its operation may be tricky for a blind person. I'll give you a report once it's in my hands.

@douglas2005 In other news, since I'm sure you're not on the Blind Hams list, there's been lots of discussion there about a new software defined radio, (SDR): the MLite 880 for $200. I have one on order and it should be here in the next two or three days. I mention it to you because it has a lot of options for filtering and tayloring bandwidths, so I think it might be an excellent radio for FM DX-ing assuming it's reasonably sensitive.

@douglas2005 Actually, come to find out, I don't. I'm still on some variant of version 3.1.

@douglas2005 Hmm, wait, I just opened NFB Newsline on my iPhone and it told me where I was and alerted me to the excessive heat advisory that I was just notified about via another source; my point being that I may somehow already have access to 4.0.
