Thanks to all of you guys! Gary, Robert, Frank, Dan and Steve...

I just checked my Yahoo.com email (that I use to avoid spam), and found a
message from Jerry telling me about http://www.fingertiptapper.com/. which
is also the product Robert mentioned. The fingertiptapper cards look like
they would work great with adjacent fingers like index and miidle finger.
I have emailed the company to see if I can get parts, or a card that splits
wider to accomodate the two-finger spacing between the ring and index
finger.

Also, thanks for the info on Handi-Hams Gary. They may have already solved
this one. :-)

I go see the person tomorrow. I'll see how much control she has of those
fingers. I should know more after that. I also found out that some pretty
smart folks already tried similar things with her 20 years ago and failed.
I hope the new technology can make the difference. :-)

73,
Rick

be great.

Another thought:

There is a group called Handi-Hams, which consists of both those with
various physical challenges, and those who build adaptive ham radio
gear.

I don't if you have already, but they might be worth chasing.

Happy trails,
