JS8Call - Messaging built on top of FT8 protocol by KN4CRD

  • from: http://js8call.com/
  • JS8Call uses the JS8 Digital Mode providing weak signal keyboard to keyboard messaging.
  • The idea is to take the robustness of FT8 mode and layer on a messaging and network protocol for weak signal communication on HF with a keyboard-to-keyboard interface.
  • JS8Call is heavily inspired by WSJT-X, Fldigi, and FSQCall .
  • JS8Call is an experiment to test the feasibility of this approach.

JS8CallTools - Get Grid coordinates using GPS

  • from: http://m0iax.com/2019/05/27/js8calltools-for-raspberry-pi/, https://github.com/m0iax/js8calltools
  • GPS Utility for JS8Call. A python script with a GUI to get location from GPSD running on a Raspberry Pi.
  • Then translate the Lat and Long to a Maidenhead Grid and send it to JS8Call updating its Grid for use in messages.
  • Can do this at the click of a button, or use the timer to update the grid every 10 minutes.
  • Also includes a button sending the GRID command to @ALLCALL using JS8Call which will be received by stations in the JS8Call network and reported to the APRS network.

gnss-sdr - GLONASS satellite system Software Defined Receiver

  • from: https://github.com/gnss-sdr/gnss-sdr
  • An SDR able to perform detection, synchronization, demodulation and decoding of the navigation message, and position fixes of
  • 9 Global Navigation Satellite System's satellites in the L1,L2, and L5 bands.
  • Provides interfaces for a wide range of radio frequency front-ends and raw sample file formats.
  • Generates processing outputs in standard formats, allows for the full inspection of the whole signal processing chain.
  • Offers a framework for the development of new features.
  • Visit https://gnss-sdr.org for more information about this open source software-defined GNSS receiver.

linpsk - amateur radio PSK31/RTTY program via soundcard

  • from: http://linpsk.sourceforge.net/
  • Supports BPSK, QPSK, PSK31, and RTTY on as many receive channels as you wish.
  • Instructions:
    • Tune your receiver to 14.070.15 mHz, Upper Sideband. If the 20-meter band is open, you should hear a variety of warbling tones from the radio speaker, each one representing a ham using PSK31. Adjust the volume so the Waterfall shows a dark blue background with white or yellow lines streaking down it. Click on one of these lines. In a moment, the ham's message should appear in the Rx window as he types. If not, click on the Squelch bar and lower it until the signal breaks through the squelch. Noise will show up as random letters on the Rx display.
    • With receive working, click on TX. A clean-sounding warbling tone should come from the speakers. If the tone is raspy, the OutputLevel is too high. Type some words in the window to the right of the TX/RX button. The warbling sound should vary as your typed words appear in the Rx window above. Click on the TX/RX button to return to receive mode.

linpac - packet radio terminal

  • from: http://linpac.sourceforge.net/overview.php
  • Text-mode (console or terminal window) user interface, driven by commands.
