[Elecraft] new morse trainer for Mac OS

[john shadle]

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 ad5rx at arrl.net. 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.
