Just wanted to give a heads up to those of you who use Mac OS (or know of folks who use Mac OS) about a new Morse Code learning device which is available for Mac OS.
This program is called the AD5RX Morse Trainer and it may be downloaded *free* from the Source Forge site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/morsetrainer/ Jonathan Nall, AD5RX, is a ham who lives out in 6-land these days. By day he works in the tech biz doing hardware verification, but he really enjoys tinkering around with other things in his spare time. In this case, he's offering a G4FON-like program for Mac users. It has quite a bit of functionality of the G4FON program (QRM, QSB, effective speed and actual speed settings, etc.). In addition to those basic features, it offers the ability to set the number of stations QRMing and the ability of the program to read the code back to you (in English) to check your written (or typed) transcription. The motivation behind developing this program (which he has poured many hours into) is to provide a quality, free Morse Code-learning program to Mac users who have been limited to pay-only or inferior programs in the past. The program will always remain free, but since the program is still in its infancy he is requesting that Mac hams download it and try it out. Please email all comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED] He is specifically looking for comments related to the UI and the speech function (mentioned above). My interest in this is only that AD5RX is a friend of mine from college who happens to not subscribe to this list. That's all. I had nothing to do with the development of the program, personally. 73 -john W4PAH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
