Re: Here's the operating manual

I can attempt mixing the rx audio and the tts output. Last year, somehow ocra got enabled and there was no way to turn if off! I would prefer a screed reader that is under sbitx control to set the level of chatter. Long gone now, but as a kid, I would go to sleep listening to the band with lights switched off. The night stand radio was a HW8 loaned by Anil, SM0MFC. The working was simple and the band was covered in exactly six turns of the tuning knob. I could home into a frequecy within 5 khz by touch. There was ghastly frequency calibrator that he had added by drilling holes into the front panel. It screamed every 25 khz.? Anyway, very few stations knew their own frequencies back then. Some were so drifty that during a morning qso, we'd ragchew across the band, stomping over two cw nets. Once I heard Abeezar on 20 and gave a call to him, he didnt reply back. So I called him on the landline, he said he was on 40! Figure that out! - f

I gather that the SBitX apps use GNOME somekindahow. Anyway, I think this could be done, even if speech on demand interrupts the receiver briefly, or if speech is instead sent to an additional sound card.

If there is a screen reader to speech output on the Pi platform, making the Sbitx accessible for the Blind might be easy to do. I have very little knowledge about the Pi platform. Most of my screen accessibility? usage is underMicrosoft and Apple.

For one thing, the possibility of rolling an eyes-free interface, with already available TTS or morse readout, is pretty exciting. Since everything can be controlled with a keyboard (numeric keypad maybe?) and mouse (ick¡I¡¯ll forego that!), and it¡¯s all GNU/Linux underneath, well, that lends itself to a lot of possibilities. So, glad to see this is getting closer. When I first saw the $500 projected cost, I was a little hesitant, thinking¡oh¡for an HF only QRP radio, that might be a bit more than I want to spend, but¡am I reading this correctly? 50 watts? If so, I can see this as definitely more attractive for more people. 50 watts isn¡¯t far off the usual 100 watts for all practical purposes anyway.
