Hi Dan,
Thank you for your reply explaining your intent and meaning, it is much
appreciated. May I, in return, offer you my apologies for having
misunderstood and for being overly reactive.
I have now contacted MTI-Qualos, the Australian agent/partner to Mitutoyo
Japan, and have learned the following;
1. Yes, Mitutoyo America have discontinued supply of the voiceman audible
speech output device, and will be replacing it with a wireless device,
2. MTI-Qualos Australia are continuing to supply the voiceman audible speech
output, and are moving towards a transition to the wireless device when
approval is obtained from the Australian Radio Frequency Spectrum Control
Authority,
3. the wireless device is described as looking somewhat like a USB memory
stick, which plugs directly into the calliper at the same point as existing
cables,
4. the particular form of wireless signal technology was unknown by the
person I spoke with at MTI-Qualos. However, given that the device has
presently been refused a licence by the Australian Radio Frequency spectrum
Control authority, it would seem to me that the signal strength of the
device must be far greater than is typically available from BlueTooth
devices.
I hope this has been of some help.
best regards,
John Milburn
Victoria Australia.
