Hello,

I'm looking for a dual band handheld that would be good for someone with CP (cerebral palsy). I would imagine it would need a larger easy to push ptt button. I have a few pictures of an old cb handheld that worked for me. If anyone knows of an ht that would have this I would appreciate it.

Kenwood mics appear to have a distinctive larger button

You may also want to look at Icom or Yaesu radios and then find a replacement commercial microphone replacement; you'll need to check for compatibility but commercial gear tends to offer bgger buttons and more feedback on the PTT

I'm sure that he mentioned a handheld radio. My suggestion would be to check out the speaker mics at a hamfest, or, a local club. See which one works the best for you. It might work better to squeeze the ptt on the mic than on the radio.
HTH,
Larry
