You're welcome. I also have a doubletalk LT / litetalk, which works beautifully on a standard serial port, and well enough over a USB to serial converter. I checked a couple of weeks ago out of interest, and the RC systems page for the lt says they don't have any in stock, and that it's retired. I seem to recall hearing the trippletalk is not being sold anymore either. Hardware synthesizers seem to have become a chapter in speech synthesis history. Let's keep the ones still working we own running for as long as we can. It seems that once they break down, they likely can't be fixed and certainly not replaced.
