This bachelor's thesis presents the design and implementation of an interactive device for learning Morse code and basic radio communication. The work compares existing training devices and uses their strengths and limitations to define the prototype requirements. It describes the complete development process, including the design of a standalone battery-powered device with a custom PCB, enclosure, straight key, embedded firmware, companion PC application, and training plan. The firmware supports learning through the Koch method and Farnsworth timing, includes multiple practice modes and a user interface, and also provides functions aimed at radio communication practice. The device can be extended through the PC application, which supports configuration, practice, and statistics display. Testing showed that the transmit and receive timing is sufficiently accurate for the intended training use. The result is a functional compact prototype that fulfills the goals of the thesis and provides a basis for future development.

Process of defence
Při obhajobě student nejprve prezentoval svoji bakalářskou práci, následně byly přečteny posudky a student odpovídal na dotazy oponenta. Poté byly členy komise položeny následující otázky: Umožňuje zařízení tréning přepisu pípání do písmen? Jaká byla motivace k vytvoření zařízení, pro koho bylo vytvořeno? Na závěr byla obhajoba hodnocena jako výborná.
