Morse Classic for UNIX/Linux
From Free Knowledge Base- The DUCK Project: information for everyone
A morse-code training program and QSO generator.
Morse Classic is a Morse-code training program for aspiring radio hams. It can generate random tests or simulated QSOs resembling those used in the ARRL test (a QSO generator is included). There are a plethora of options to vary the training method. In one of the simpler modes, this program will take text from standard input and render it as Morse-code beeps. Resources
This is Morse Classic, a generic morse-code practice utility for Unix systems.
You'll invoke it as "morse"; the full name is to distinguish it from Alan
Cox's "morse" program.
Currently supported devices:
X11: The X11 window system. (Warning: not all X11 implementations handle
duration and frequency of beeps properly!)
Linux: The IBM PC console speaker.
OSS: Open Sound System /dev/dsp device. Also works with the newer
ALSA Linux sound system using the legacy OSS device.
PA: PulseAudio using the pulse-simple client API.
ALSA: ALSA Linux sound system /dev/snd/* device.
Adding a new device is as simple as creating a new implementation of the
beep.h interface. See beep*.[ch] for examples and documentation.
Please send any additions to the maintainers.
A modified version of the program "QSO" by Paul J. Drongowski is also included.
For the character set this trainer generates, see the manual page.
