<font size="-1">Just a heads up but I just saw this on the Fldigi
group. No doubt, naming a product is difficult and an available
name can be hard but these guys obviously didn't even try. A
Google search for "chip" yields four of the top ten listings.<br>

<pre>Not to confuse anyone but in addition to the free
rig control app "Chirp" here now comes a digital
audio link by the same name.

This looks interesting and it triggered the wanna-be
Ham-MacGuyver in me.
What if you could set any rig into vox mode and via
mic & speaker hands-free QSO digi-mode from your
Smartphone?
(Or CW via Smartphone of Chirp-connected keyboard,
or text-to-voice from the same?)
What if you wanted to use the PA system in a park,
stadium, function hall, EOC, field command post,
Field Day, Hamfest, etc. to deliver digitized info
to Smartphones (or other properly equipped devices
with a microphone) - without the hassle of Bluetooth
or Wifi linking?
Interesting possibilities ...
