Hello Rob,
As you know, I enjoy a good relationship with Jay Terleski, owner of Array
Solutions. Jay has been very accommmodating to me, and talking privately
with you, I know that he has been anxious to have speech support for the
PM2. I do not have the same relationship with Larry, but he has always
responded to my inquiries on a timely basis. If you ever want to revisit
the issue of speech support for the LP100A, I'd be most happy to assist you
in any way that I could. As I mentioned earlier, I intend to borrow my
friend Steve's LP100A to see how screen reader friendly it's software is
Naturally I will let you know what I find out.
Best 73

Just for the record and for what it's worth...
Before I started adding accessibility to the HamPod for the Power
Master 2 from Array Solutions, I contacted Larry Phipps about supporting
his LP-100A meter. He initially said he was interested but when I
responded with messages to initiate the process, I never received a
response. So he either forgot or decided not to get involved or who
knows. Then after talking with Array Solutions and hearing how
enthusiastic they were, and with no hesitation in loaning me a meter,
plus giving me access to their programmer, I gave up on Larry and went
with the Power Master 2. Just so you know.
Thanks,
Rob K6DQ
