hello there.

I am Eric and I am a blind ham. I ran across the software while trying to reprogram my PX-777. I found 2 issues with the program:
1. its only partially accessible under voiceover (Mac OS X)
2. it doesn't seem to work with my PX-777. 

the first one is solvable by adding some accessibility features (python has some and apple published the API for voiceover). I am not a coder, so I can't tell how difficult this will be.

The second issue (which is actually the more important of the 2) is getting it to work with my Puxing px-777. So far as I know, that radio is not yet supported. Also, since I am on a limited income, sending my radio out just for Development work is more costly than I can afford. If the radio gets bricked, I am out the cost of the radio (and shipping). If it gets lost, same thing plus time arguing with the delivery agent.

Still, I would like this radio to be supported in such a way as to make it easy for me to program.

any ideas?
