In a previous article written by this author and Gene Hinkle, K5PA, entitled “AI Meets AR, The Coming Convergence of Amateur Radio and Artificial Intelligence,”1 we were able to demonstrate, in practical terms, how artificial intelligence (AI) devices connected to radio transceivers could serve a practical purpose.
