<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Greetings, all.<br><br>The next beta build of YAAC has been released, automatically upgradeable the usual way or downloadable from the usual sources:<br><br><a href="http://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html">http://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html</a><br><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/yetanotheraprsc">http://sourceforge.net/projects/yetanotheraprsc</a><br><br>The changes to YAAC itself are fairly minor (a few bugfixes), but the important change is support for the first draft of the new soundsplugin, which allows YAAC to use your sound card to audibly report various events occurring in the APRS network, such as:<br><ul><li>new stations and objects being heard</li><li>stations reporting emergency and priority conditions</li><li>locally-controlled objects being taken over by other stations</li></ul><br>Events can be reported as simple beeps, user-chosen sound files (WAV, etc.), or synthesized spoken speech (using the "espeak" speech synthesizer or other compatible applications).<br><br>The soundsplugin is available for download from the same places as YAAC itself can be downloaded.<br><br>Enjoy.<br><br>Andrew Pavlin, KA2DDO<br>author of YAAC<br> </div></body>
