This is correct.  I served on the advisory committee to the USPS when the
first free matter regulations were published and radio gear would not pass
muster.  Equipment for writing in Braille, however, is allowed, so Braille
writers, slates and styluses and Braille paper are permitted.

It wouldn't work here; as I recall postal regulations, the only things that
can be sent free matter are braille and cassette and large print (I think).
I somehow don't think radio equipment would fall into a legal category. And
remember, too, that the post office does have the authority to investigate
the contents of things marked free matter.
