I have been searching on and off for several years now.
I suspect that writing the software would be a breeze,
if you are a programmer. My programin efforts make
real programers cringe. Not merely bad, but real
BAD. So bad they can be, are are, used as examples
of how not to do something. I supect Iwill have to live
with hardware units until I can con a friend into writtting
the code.
Looking at the voting gate in the hardware unit, it is clear
that this isn't rocket science. It is however well beyond
my abilities. I have enough projects that I can really complete,
to start on one certain to take a long long time.
While scanning VHF FM voice circuits, a normal level
switch works great. But when monitoring AM or SSB
circuits, a plain level switch just doesn't work. It is a lot
more fun tomonitor a specific freq and only have it pop
out when a real vloice is there.
As a funny note, the digital voice the NWS used to use
would not always trip my VOX squelch. The new voice
works fine. A "speak and spell" will also be treated like
noise and ignored. I boought one for a $1 at a thrift store
just because I wanted to see how TI did it.
