12 Meter Transmit Fixed

K0LR says:

Thanks to Woody, N5XCX, for discovering an issue while utilizing the new remote base client. A typo was discovered in the remote station configuration files. The typo has been corrected and SSB transmission should now be possible on 12 meter frequencies above 24930 kHz. Give it a try folks! 73 from KK4JZX

You can control the remote base receivers with Echolink, as long as the station owner has enabled this feature on the hosting computer.  Simply start the Echolink application, then connect to the node of the station you wish to use.  You are NOT allowed to connect to the stations via an RF link through a repeater system. Only Echolink application connections are allowed, and only for receive.  No conferences may be connected, either. Continue reading Echolink Commands

Proof of concept: New interface with screenreader audio demo

Current enter logon information screen in web transceiver shows field where information is entered for first time setup of any given remote base station. The fields are arranged across a design that is not logical or easily accessible to screenreader users.

A perennial problem with the Web Transceiver software is that the initial setup is difficult for our blind users who depend on screenreading software to operate their computers.  The first screenshot shows the current web transceiver enter logon information screen.
