Beta release of linHPSDR
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2018 5:04 pm
I am shamelessly cross-posting the message below from the mailing lists here. Let the discussion begin!
At HAM RADIO 2018 in Friedrichshafen I gave a presentation at the HPSDR Academy on some new Linux software for HPSDR compatible radios called linHPSDR. Please note that this is not PowerSDR running on Linux but a completely new Linux application.
The Beta release of this software is now available on GitHub at https://github.com/g0orx/linhpsdr. The README.md details the prerequisites and how to build the software. It has been built and tested using Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04.
The major features of the software are:
Linux specific software
Uses WDSP ported to Linux for the DSP library
Supports both Protocol 1 and Protocol 2
Supports up to 7 receivers depending on the radio
Supports 1 transmitter
Uses PortAudio for local audio input/output at the computer
CAT interface over TCP/IP for each receiver
Easy interface to WSJT-X without using a sound card or cables (WSJT-X.odt and .pdf) on github
Can be interfaced to other applications using rigctl built with Hamlib 3.2.
Current development:
Improved documentation (there is an early document linhpsdr-user.odt and .pdf) on github
PureSignal
Diversity
Remote thin client
Remember this is a Beta release so there will still be some bugs in the code and missing features.
