[Elecraft] Speech bord for any of the Elecragt rigs?

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Not that I've ever heard. There were requests on the original feature lists
for the digital voice recorder back at the beginning of the K3. The voice
recorder was available very early.

Usually the user wants to use his own voice for synthesized speech,
a rather complex task usually done by logging software running on a PC.

This would be a PC that has the software for forming the letter, number and
special message files needed for automatic contest speech in a contest with
serial numbers, etc. The logging program then assembles those files into
sequential speech using directory and file names specified by the program
via a sound card.

These tasks require developed software, which will have been developed for
the two common hosts and operating systems.

That would make the request suspiciously like inserting a mini PC into the
K3. Interesting idea. Would worry about all the misc RF noise generated by
a PC. And the heat. Still interesting ignoring all the practical issues to
solve.

If transportability was in mind and I had to have it tomorrow, I'd get a
Surface Pro 3, load all the requisite software and files, and pack it in
the same case as the K3.
