- speech and tone
- use your own (wave-)samples in your language
- wave-samples stored on sd-card
- switch via rc between alt-Speak/vario-tone/off
- automatic announcement of height in hundred meter steps
- audio frequency output, you could use your own radios,PMR,FRS,baby monitor or whatever
- use 5 Volt from rc-receiver
