I have been trying to get the developer of chirp to add some accessibility to the app (considering that those class objects are included in python, there shouldn't be an excuse not to). However, I have either been ignored (for the most part) or had one of the other users on that mailing list try

Chirp is already deleted. And no, I have not heard of any other solutions, other than running the Kenwood sodtware in Windows. My rigs, except for the handheld, have the speech chip so I can manage with that. Quote of the nanosecond . . . Can you cry under water? Robert & Annie Yanni ke

I can guarantee you that Chirp is *not* accessible with Voiceover. For that matter, it can only be used with lots of mouse keys navigation under Windows, and most easily with Window-Eyes, in my experience. On May 2, 2014, at 12:51 AM, Robert C wrote: > This is free software and it should be

Hi, I have a Kenwood HamRadio and was looking for programming software for use with VO on Mac. I forget the model I use, all I can say is that. When it turns on, it has a lady that says. Channel mode 1. So perhaps, hopefully someone in the US who has that radio could tell me their model and it m
