Remotehams.com rig control software:

The Remotehams.com RCFORB client is in use at the WA0TDA HF remote base.  We think that this client is screenreader accessible and would like to hear feedback from blind users. So far I have been delighted with this method of controlling remote base HF radios around the world.  The software does speak the frequency readout and control settings for blind users, a feature available in the settings.  The nifty thing is that once you set up your preferences in the settings, it applies across all of the radios available around the world. For example, if I want to ask my IC-7200 what frequency it is on, all I have to do is the keystroke combo ALT-SHIFT-F.  Later that day I decide to listen on a Flex radio in Alabama.  I use the same keystroke to ask the Flex to tell me the frequency.  This is really nice because once I learn the RCFORB software, the commands are pretty much universal across radios, subject to the radio's features.  Remember that the radio does not need to have a special speech chip installed because the voice frequency announcements are done in the RCFORB software, not the radio's hardware.  
The procedure for getting the RCFORB software set up is a bit different than what you are used to with remote base operation.   Your first step is to the website Remotehams.com and read about the system,  which provides access to many stations around the world as a volunteer effort.  The RCFORB software is free and works on Windows computers.  You can support the project with a donation if you wish.  You should set up a free account.  Uploading a copy of your license is highly recommended if you expect to request transmit privileges on any of the remotes.  
The Remotehams system has several key advantages over our existing W4MQ software:
1.   It appears to be more blind accessible.
2.   It is under current development.
3.   It supports physical hardware devices on the client side, like K3 transceivers and a neat little hardware box into which you can plug a microphone and key, though it can also be operated from a computer or Windows tablet without these extra devices. 
4.   There is a great Android app that allows you to control radios from your smartphone.  It's under $10 and works well for me, though I have not tested it with the Android screenreader.
5.   You don't need a third-party audio application like Skype since it has its own built in audio.
6.   Multiple users can listen at the same time without resorting to Echolink.  The RCFORB client allows for a number of listeners with one control op at a time. 
7.   From an administration standpoint, the host software for this system is much easier to manage.  If someone wants to use my station, all I need to do is check my list for transmit requests and check the uploaded licenses for verification.  I can then add the user to the list of those who have transmit permission.  Although I did have to open several ports on my router to the host computer, this is not necessary for the actual users of the station, so the client software is very easy to set up.  No fiddling with your router's ports!
8.   Finally, once you set up the RCFORB software there is access to many stations.  You don't have to worry about setting a special IP address for each station as you do with the W4MQ software.  This makes it much easier to use many different stations, a definite advantage as band conditions change from one geographic area to another. 
Please consider testing the Remotehams.com system and letting me know what you think about it.
