Hi, Jim.

Have you been able to do anything with the SoftRock?

I've wanted to try that one myself just to see how well such a 
receiver would work, but I too do not have much time to be a pioneer.

Pat,
I have been experimenting with SDR for a couple of years.  I have a 
SoftRock
and a Flex 1500.  I have been able to use the Flex 1500 receiver with 
Jaws
successfully and it's an amazing receiver.  But, most of the features 
beyond
basic setting of frequency and mode aren't accessible.

I bought the Flex specifically to solve the SDR accessibility issues. 
So
far, I have a start on some Jaws scripts but haven't gotten very far.
Mostly, I just haven't had enough free time to devote to scripting.

73,
Jim, KY2D

This ia new topic.  Has anybody ever used software defined radio 
software
successfully with screen readers?  One of my buddies on the Maryland
Emergency phone net has the flex radio and I was wondering how useable 
or
not so useable the software was before I tried it for myself.  73- pat
