Raymond's CATB software pages. The resource page describes it as a training program for aspiring radio amateurs that can generate random tests or simulated QSOs resembling ARRL test material, with options for varying the training method. ### How it is used The tool's practical use is deliberately old-school Unix: one mode reads text from standard input and renders it as Morse-code beeps, while the QSO generator creates practice copy material. Its package-manager niche is a compact ham-radio and Morse training utility, distributed in Homebrew alongside Debian and Ubuntu packages under the plain morse name. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** morse - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - morse - 2.6-2: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: morse from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | training program about morse-code for aspiring radio hams | https://gitlab.com/esr/morse-classic - Ubuntu apt - morse - 2.6-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: morse from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | training program about morse-code for aspiring radio hams | https://gitlab.com/esr/morse-classic ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [pulseaudio](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pulseaudio/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [xmlto](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/xmlto/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ecoji](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ecoji/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, encoding. - [uudeview](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/uudeview/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, encoding. - [aklomp-base64](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aklomp-base64/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, encoding. - [der-ascii](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/der-ascii/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, encoding. - [gti](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gti/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, command-line, developer-tools. - [has](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/has/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, command-line, developer-tools. - [mods](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mods/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, command-line, developer-tools. - [moreutils](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/moreutils/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, command-line, developer-tools. - [ascii](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ascii/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
