CQBH 102 Marlin P Jones talking multi meter Tutorial with Joe KA9OPL
On this show Joe KA9OPL gives us a tutorial with the Marlin P. Jones talking multi meter.
This multimeter provides both visual and spoken readout of measurements.
It does not announce its functions and ranges when they are selected, so you will need a list showing what and where they are located on the rotary switch.
In my tutorial, I describe the meter in detail, and demonstrate some of its functions.
I have also included a table which summarizes the functions and ranges.
Here is a link where the unit can be purchased. For legal reasons, they say it is not recommended for visually impaired users.
Talking Digital Multimeter Page
Since the meter does not come with a case, I found a suitable one made by Klein Tools. Here is a link where it can be purchased.

CQBH 93 Overview of the Quansheng UV-K5 Handheld Transceiver: From A Blind Ham's Perspective Buddy Brannan
Here, I look at the Quansheng UV-K5 handheld transceiver, a low-cost handheld radio that's been getting a fair bit of attention lately. Specifically, I’m looking at how it might be a useful rig for blind operators. Be kind, it's my first Youtube video review with actual video, and excuse the audio levels as I just recorded on my iPhone on a tripod. Thanks to my wife Angie for manning (personing?) the camera, to Quansheng Electronics for providing radios to play with, and the @HamRadioDX 'and @TechMindsOfficial reviews for lots of great initial information and tips. Feel free to get in touch in the comments. And if you find this review interesting or informative, you can buy me a coffee (though please make mine hot chocolate.

CQBH79 Mental Gymnastics Not Required: The Accessible GD77 Firmware with Custom Voice Prompts
In this podcast, Robert, NC5R, explores how blind hams have struggled to figure out ways to operate inaccessible radios. He talks about how radio manufacturers should and could provide their radios with accessible firmware. Robert describes how the struggle frequently reduces the pleasure that blind hams get out of the hobby. He demonstrates how the Accessible GD77 firmware has proven that when radios are 100 percent accessible blind hams can find the same level of enjoyment as do sighted hams.
