Re: FT8 for U3?


 

Hi All,

I have an interest in making QCX and other QRP-LABS products send JS8.

The idea being that you send ASCII characters to the QCX and it forms JS8 packets and sends them as long as there are characters in the buffer.

I that way your typing goes out maybe a different antenna and you can receive JS8 with your normal XCVR and computer at the same time :).

You can also easily experiment with remote JS8 data collection sorts of things by just sending ASCII to the remote QCX.

There is source code already on the web that runs in the QCX though off hand I don't remember where and haven't compiled and run it myself yet.

Generating JS8 directly with the 5351 should give a very clean RF signal since the RF is created directly by that chip.

Is anyone else interested?

John

Ironically, pre-built binaries for Raspberry Pi's (including v2.01) work
fine ;-)
But for those of us using our daily work machines, on stable and LTS support
code bases were completely disowned in favour of OS versions that are barely
out of beta testing.
