Very neat! Does anyone by chance known what version of DECTalk this may be? It sounds very similar to the NWS varriant of 4.60 R8 but just a tad different. Im thinking possibly 4.6.11?
Not sure.
Not sure.
@@KanawhaCountyWX thanks Anyway
I figured it would do graphics. Next up, you should demo the Romeo Attache and what you use it for. I do miss the old Enabling Technologies embossers. But if I had to go with a modern embosser today, and if I had to only choose from APH, I personally would choose the Page Blaster over the Pix Blaster any day.
I regrettably have experience with one and I will tell you that the Pixblaster is a turd. If I had to choose an embosser today, I would probably end up going with an index unit, or if I was doing major production I would go for a braillo
@@KanawhaCountyWX Yeah. Index machines are grate. I personally like the Everest because it is a multi sheet feeder. That Being said, View Plus has the Delta and Iria has there version known as the Braille Sheet 120. But if you wanted a tractor feed modern embosser today, you would probably want the Index Basic D V5. And APH's Page Blaster is there branded version modeled after the Index Basic D V5.
@@johnfollis2357 personally I would not mess with a multi-sheet feeder embosser, it just seems like it would be far more prone to failure than something using tractor feed.
I honestly had no idea which state it was that grew the most pumpkins.
Oh wow. I don’t get these. This must be a WV thing
I think it's just this station, King's daughters is a hospital in Huntington West Virginia
I think it's just this station, King's daughters is a hospital in Huntington West Virginia
@@KanawhaCountyWX oh, ok. That makes sense.
Nice. And all the Embossers that have ETSpeaks built-in will announce the numbered copy before embossing it. And if the buffer is full, ETSpeaks will say something but I don't remember what it says. Plus the ETSpeaks Embossers have those wonderful DTMF Tones.Have you ever tried printing graphics with this machine? And also, the buffer size is 18 K. So that equals 18 sheets of standard size paper single sided, and 9 sheets interpoint.
I doubt this unit has a graphics mode, considering that it was released in 1992 and mine dates from around 1995, or at least that's when the previous owner acquired it new. I still have it today, and it still works just fine. My Romeo attache with ET speaks added on by me, with the card rip from a broken juliet pro 60, I've not messed with multi-copy on it. I have been able to get it to do graphics using duxbury and a website which can convert images from formats like PNG or jpg into a Braille graphics file duxbury can emboss.
So you have two embossers? Also, if you take the embosser offline, enter the service menu, and punch in 11 E, it should print two pages of a graphics Test. And I think I know of the website you speak off. It has something to do with Print to Braille Graphics.
@@johnfollis2357 Yes I have two embossers. 11e is not a valid option on my Juliet. I'm about to hook it up to the computer and shoot an actual review after around 1 and 1/2 years of ownership, and I'll try force feeding it some graphics.
@@KanawhaCountyWX Ok. I look forward to that review. I am also thinking about doing a review on how I got about embossing between Braille Blaster and my TSI VersaPoint. I may do a review of the embosser itself as well. I am such a nerd when it comes to these devices.
Does that device have a braille display? I've heard that some of them do.
Yes
Very cool.
PDFs can be very tricky to deal with at times.
Beautiful song. I am so sorry for your loss.
Nice dog.
She's actually one of my cousins two dogs, debo and katana. They live on the same property as us but in a different house. Katana is younger, kind of lanky a little bit. She recently had an injury where she can't use her front left leg very much, but she still managed to chase off a bear even in that state. She really is a good girl. Debo is an idiot but he's so sweet and lovable you can't blame him.
Did you finally get the main AC fixed? All those window units can be a power hog for sure. And is that a boxer dog?
Very cool. I am on a windows 10 computer and I have a TSI VersaPoint Embosser (Model D) connected via serial to a PCI serial card that I have inserted into my computer. But yeah with a bit of fiddling with settings on both ends (being the Embosser settings and the settings for the Serial Card,) I got it to work really well. And it works beautifully with Braille Blaster version 2.1.9 as of this comment.
Probably the biggest dubious thing about the blazer is that when setting the top of form, it always wastes a sheet of paper. Honestly no point in having a set top of form set feature if it is going to waste a sheet of paper. And yes I know that you can have it feed the paper in the opposite direction which means it won't waste a sheet of paper when setting the top of form. However, you are at a very high risk for paper jam. All other embossers that have some kind of set top of form feature do not waste a sheet of paper at all.
In retrospect I agree with you, but this was also my first embosser, though even then I thought it was terrible. We had one in the school that was being used before it failed, it was set to go backwards and that thing would jam so often it's not even funny.
@@KanawhaCountyWX Exactly. Now they had the Blazer Inferno that was supposed to be a major step up from the Braille Blazer. It had features like 11.5 by 11 inch paper, a 299 multi-copy mode, and a speed of 50 characters per second. Sadly I don't think most people bought the unit or if they did, I've never seen one. From what I understand from reading the manual that I found online, it still had the waste a sheet of paper problem when setting top of form, and if you wanted graphics, you had to flip the emboss bar over just like the Braille Blazer. But other than those problems, it sounded like a major step up.
Ahaha the dog comes to greet you at the end.
Be careful now
That's not the worst, last year I ended up driving this same scooter down the set of steps off of this same deck because I was trying to avoid whacking my shins on paint cans against the house.
@@KanawhaCountyWX oh my gosh, hope you were ok from that.
Awesome catches
That is something I wish all embossers could do.
Bruh
OMG
This is the best song of 2024.
Actually the best song of 2018
Wow, you got it. Nice one!
Typically I don't care enough to try and get this, but I felt like doing it tonight. I was also getting 740 a.m. cfzm from Toronto, and on shortwave I was getting CHU, the Canadian Time Station, better than I was getting WWV, the American time station in fort Collins Colorado.
Yeet!

Awesome catch! I wasn’t expecting to get much alerts today. 😅

I am with you. It is frustrating. But it is what it is.
You definitely want to bring this thing back to full strength. As we both know, these things are not cheep at all. But very useful.
Hi there. Very cool stuff. What is your DAW? Also, your voice is off to the left instead of in the center. Oops never mind . I just listened to the whole video and heard the word Audacity.
The reason why my voice is off to the left is because of how I recorded this. I used OBS to record my screen, the audio from the computer and my microphone. Because with the way my interface is wired, my microphone is only on the Left channel. If I were to make everything mono so the microphone will be in the center, the screen recording, and thus the tracks would also be entirely in mono. I plan to upgrade interfaces at the end of this year and purchase a pair of better microphones
@@KanawhaCountyWX OK. That makes sense.
this remix is spinBALLIN'
what about it?
Right before I started filming my grandmother told me to change the channel to channel 3.
Nice
Awesome catches!
All my pain in one video! I would immigrate to Canada if I could for 4 or more years so that my WX Radio hobby lives on!

これは素晴らしいですね。
jc that's a way of waking everyone up lol
Awesome catch
Awesome cwtch
I have the Vector vec 135, how can I play something on the tv? All it has is a A/V output and no antenna input, thank you
What I did for this clip was I used a video cassette recorder with its RF modulated output. I shoved something similar to a thin piece of coat hanger wire into the connector on the VCR, then crudely wrapped it around the antenna on the television. You can also use a pair of rabbit ears and a signal amplifier along with a VCR to get a cleaner output.
Awesome thank you, I used a coax cable coming from my vcr and cut off one end so the wire is showing and wrapped it around the antenna, it worked and was able to watch Star Wars on vhs. Thank you so much for the response and help.
Who owns a Ford Flex? I’m not a fan of those vehicles
A friend of the person I was staying with in Romney, who drove me to Morgantown last night so I could meet with my aunt to get back to Charleston.
@@KanawhaCountyWX oh, ok. That’s cool
My neighbor has a ram hemi engine and it’s a power wagon but it just sits on the street cause he has been driving a ram 2500 recently he did move it into his driveway tho
The owner of this vehicle purchased it to replace a 2006 or 2007 Silverado 1500 that had a transmission failure, this was going to be his work truck. Sadly, he didn't get to use it for too long because he passed away only a couple of months after this brief clip was filmed.
@@KanawhaCountyWX sorry for you loss
Oof
I love his..you are my hero..im the same way i can absorb it all....i prefer my local nationall....and shortwave...air ..train...., emergency.. radios..alot of fun
Awesome catch! I was in the shower so I missed this one but got the 2nd one
Well I had to resort to ERN/KNA for the second capture since I'm too far away from WVRC Media's Martinsburg cluster (WLTF etc) to receive OTA, and the alert was too far for the Romney/Cumberland cluster (WQZK/WVMD/WKLP/WDZN etc) to relay.
@@KanawhaCountyWX oh, ok. I thought you could get WLTF from there. I got the 2nd one from multiple stations.
@@statecollegewx4060 wltf doesn't reach far enough to get into the valley here, and plus reception at this particular house is bizarrely terrible, especially on weather band. I think it's the construction of the building though, but I can't get WWG52 even if I'm standing in the yard.
@@KanawhaCountyWX oh, o see. You seem to get WXM43 alright though.
