Hi Steve.
Don't RNIB do a sonar device? I'm sure I remember seeing a pen sonar device
from them in their catalogue but never tried it. I'd be interested in your
opinion of this new product, the caretech unit so once you've a review and a
price, perhaps you could post this information to the list providing that is
the moderators don't mind *smile*.
