Thanks Tom,
Another thought I had was around colour detectors that were good enough to tell me the colour of wires. I'm sure there are work rounds (bending wires so that multiple strands are presented to an existing detector) but I'm not sure how effective that is.
So, let's let the conversation run for a while and see where we get to.
Cheers and 73,
Terry

Terry and all:
I still think a stand-alone affordable talking watt/SWR meter to replace the
TW1 and TW2 is essential.
Also, an affordable stand-alone talking antenna analyzer would be
beneficial.
Finally, how about a newly-designed and affordable light probe for reading
LED read-outs and the like.
In saying all of this, I know there are some on this list who are at various
stages of designing or at least considering the design of these items, so
I'd not want to duplicate efforts.

Hi all,
The RSGB President collared me last night at the GMDX Convention. The =
Society wants to do something (spending some capital) that would be of =
benefit to its members and enhancing the amateur radio experience for =
people with disabilities is one thing that's being considered.
Whilst this initiative would be aimed at RSGB members in particular, it =
could also be of potential benefit to others.
I'm in no position to make promises and have no part in the decision =
making process.
I was asked, however, to come up with suggestions and I'm concerned that = I
don't just propose a re-invention of the wheel.
So, what would we really like? Power meters have been mentioned, but I =
think these already exist, albeit in some expensive options. I had some =
thoughts about the experience with digital modes, but perhaps there are =
already solutions here too.
So, come on, let's hear it and I'll try to draw some kind of = constructive
consensus.
Cheers and 73,
Terry
