I just performed some changes in order to remove compiling errors and warnings. Updated sources may be found here : http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/dxget.tar.bz2 In addition I made a special version writing Dxspots shortcuts with phonetic spelling that may be read using the well known espeak application. Here is a small example of output file : DX 7175 foxtrote 5 papa victor xray slash papa DX 21219.7 foxtrote mike 5 whisky delta DX 28028.8 6 whisky 2 sierra charlie DX 28482.4 foxtrote hotel 8 papa lima DX 21267 foxtrote 5 lima echo november DX 21150 victor echo 3 victor echo echo DX 18105.1 alpha 4 5 xray romeo DX 21210.3 foxtrote 6 kilo hotel mike DX 21205 foxtrote golf 4 november november DX 14200 9 uniform 4 uniform (foxtrote instead of foxtrot is to improve espeak french spelling. This may be change in the source file ) Source package can be downloaded from here : http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/dxget_Espeaker.tar.bz2 A script demonstrating the use of espeak application is included. Unfortunately, when Dx spots are arriving very fast, say more than one per second, espeak may not have the time to pronounce all messages and will drop some. 73 de Bernard, f6bvp
