Other programs on the radio

  • Sound for WSJT-X, FreeDV and the like. The radio always offers two sound devices to other programs, one to hear the receiver by and one to send by. SOUND_CARD_STATUS on CONNECTIONS gives their names; choose them in the other program.
  • CAT. Turn CAT ON, and other programs can set the frequency and mode and key the radio, through Hamlib’s NET rigctl. CAT_STATUS says the address and port to give them.
  • Bluetooth. Pair an earphone or speaker from the desktop’s Bluetooth menu, then turn BLUETOOTH ON to play the radio’s sound into it.
