Yep, speaks, you can quiry the meters enter frequency set pl tones and 
so forth.  I can do everything I could with my computer.  It is set up 
for 4800 baud on the serial port.  The only other thing we had to do was 
tie a couple pins together, I will have to look which before the ifr 
would send data.  Sure beats carying a laptop around.  I also had him 
write in a routine that I did in my basic program where it will give you 
a reading every specified number of seconds, so if you're adjusting 
deviation or whatever you don't have to keep quirying the meter.  Rob is 
one heck of a programmer and this thing is really cool.  I've used it on 
1200a and 1200 s.
