Re: sBITX Toolbox - A great companion for the sBitx transceiver is now available for public release #file-notice #sBitx #sbitx_v2 #sBITX_v3 #wiki-notice

 

Hi, Thanks.? ?Maybe I'm not explaining myself well.

Extremely popular and well known and important applications widely used in the ham radio community?such as N3FJP and WINLINK's entire system, do not appear to support hamlib or other systems.? ? Making control?via telnet will not work with these applications.? ? ? these aps are WINDOWS.?

The easiest way to make all of these applications?work, is to have an emulator that appears to be some radio.? ? That emulator can then call a telnet command, or interface via ham lib or any way it chooses.? ?But I doubt you are going to get N3FJP or the limited WINLINK staff to jump to your tune.??

I hope that epxlains?the issues better?

At a minimum just be able to set the frequency and possibly go into transmit mode.
This level of stuff is possible already, you can see it operate from the command line.

On my sbitx:

1) Start the sbitx application

2) Open a Terminal

3) Install some software:

$ sudo apt install libhamlib-utils

4) Use the 'rigctl' command to send hamlib commands to the sbitx application

5) The following set my sbitx's frequency to 7070 kHz

$ rigctl -m 2 -r F 7070000

Interpretation:

6) Do 'man rigctl' then move forward till you see 'rigctl Commands' to get a list of the commands that should work (but most don't).

7) Cross check this with $HOME/sbitx/hamlib.c to see what is actually possible (hint: not a lot)



So you can see the 'T 1' command puts the radio into transmit and 'T 0' takes it out.

As we used to say in the early days of open source, UTSL (Use the Source, Luke!).


?if there is a way to access the sound card so much the better but external sound cards can be used. ?
This already works for wsjt-x and for fldigi, why would it not work for other software?

Or are you saying you need to use software that runs on Windows and not on Linux?
