   So happy that Chirp is #FreeSoftware and accessible! #hamradio I could program this UV5R without it, but this program makes working with my radio so easy. At my club meeting, I mentioned using Chirp and was told, "That's inaccessible"! Apparently, it is, when you use Windows and a screen reader. Only gripe: I cannot get a frequency or squelch tome readout spoken by the radio itself. When working in #VFO mode, it's not really a problem; I can enter freqs directly, but when channelized mode, I only know channel numbers and names. As long as I restrict transmission to the ham bands, I suppose I'm not likely to break any rules...

      @davehunt this is really interesting. So are you saying that chirp accessibility is better on Debian than Windows?
