Hi JJ;
Don't know if this will help you - but Farhan has implemented a telnet interface on port 8081 which provides some control capability.
????? $ telnet
????? telnet> open sbitx.local 8081
If the current mode is FT8, the list of stations heard during the last 15 second period will be printed out.
If the current mode is CW, the decoded CW will be printed out.
You can also issue commands through this interface. A couple I have found:
f xxxx? ? ? ??? - sets the frequency
mode xxx?? - sets the mode
t????????????????? - puts the radio into transmit
r????????????????? - puts the radio into receive
txpitch xxx? - sets the transmit pitch
You will find more in sbitx_gtk.c? Farhan would probably appreciate it if someone made a document that captured all these commands.
