This can be a real problem.  My hands are 3XL in size, and even Harley 
Davidson doesn't carry riding gloves that fit me.  But I realize that 
the days of large radios are over, and I really miss my HRO-50 and my 
Gonset GSB-100.  At least the Argonaut VI does not require much use of 
that small toggle switch in normal operation.

Until my Down East Microwave 6 and 2 meter transverters show up, I am on 
2 meters with an old Yaesu FT-221R.  That has a really good set of controls!

Then there is my digital camera...
