Hi List
Thanks for the several welcoming messages I have received so far from other list members.

I don't think I'll be getting a kit anytime soon since, as a totally blind ham, my soldering skills leave something to be desired! hahaha--Maybe a factory assembled unit. What provisions, if any, have been made by Elecraft to accommodate those of us who are unable to read the display? (Kenwood, for example, has a "Voice chip" that gives  synthesized speech feedback about the menus and button press information for freq; s meter; etc.)

Hi, Albert.

There are PC programs "K2 Voice" and "K3 voice" respectively that "speak"
the various control settings when they're changed or upon demand.  

Dick, K6KR

That's fine, but what if you don't want to control the rig via computer?

Albert,

The KRC2ACC will provide some (but not all) the display information in
morse code.
The K3 also has "button tones" that will be helpful to you.

I do recommend K3Voice as the best solution, but yes, that needs a computer.

73,
Don W3FPR
