You would still need some kind of display to verify the voice instruction
or order to the radio, so one way or another you need something visual.

I guess an audio response to your verbal instruction is possible, but 
nothing
you can see/verify after the fact.

A screen of some kind seems to be necessary for convenience - touch or 
otherwise!
