QSO today podcast with W1HKJ


 

Just stumbled across this podcast with Dave W1HKJ. It was a good listen, I recommend it:
?
Confession: I didn't exactly stumble across it - I was searching for W1HKJ links and it was in the search results - but still it was a good listen.
?
One thing that came up in the interview, from 2015, was that Kachina 505DSP was one of the two rigs Dave said he had at the time. He also talked about flrig. I'm just curious given those two facts why flrig doesn't support the 505DSP, since it seems it was his active rig control effort at the time.
?
No complaints though, kcat, a one rig driver, is a fine 505DSP controller, I use it daily.
?
Which gets me to my last comment, Dave, in case you're reading: is kcat on github, or are you willing to put it there? I occasionally find some small bug and fix it, and I'd like to start a branch for that purpose so my changes don't get lost and have a chance of being rolled up easily at some point. Last time I sent you changes, you graciously rolled them in, but it was a somewhat tedious process. The number is probably small, but there still are a few kcat users and live 505DSP radios.
?
All your fl and other tools are great, thanks so much for them.
