WSJT
Weak signal ham radio communication
The WSJT project implements software for amateur radio communication using state-of-the-art digital techniques. Typical applications involve "DXing" at LF, MF, HF, and VHF+ frequencies, including meteor scatter and EME ("moonbounce"). Major emphasis is placed on weak-signal techniques. Summary Program Descriptions: WSJT-X supports the communication protocols FST4, FT4, FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, Q65, MSK144, WSPR, FST4W, and Echo, each optimized for different sorts of radio-wave propagation. MAP65 and QMAP are designed for EME at VHF and higher frequencies. MAP65 provides a panoramic, polarization-matching receiver for the Q65 and JT65. modes. QMAP works together with WSJT-X to provide a panoramic receiver for Q65 modes covering a 90 kHz sub-band. Programs WSJT and WSPR are interesting primarily for historical reasons. They are superseded by WSJT-X. -

HackRF
Low cost software radio platform
This repository contains hardware designs and software for HackRF, a low-cost, open source Software Defined Radio platform. HackRF One from Great Scott Gadgets is a Software Defined Radio peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1 MHz to 6 GHz. Designed to enable test and development of modern and next-generation radio technologies, HackRF One is an open-source hardware platform that can be used as a USB peripheral or programmed for stand-alone operation. HackRF One has an injection-molded plastic enclosure and ships with a micro USB cable. An antenna is not included. ANT500 is recommended as a starter antenna for HackRF One. HackRF One is test equipment for RF systems. It has not been tested for compliance with regulations governing the transmission of radio signals. You are responsible for using your HackRF One legally. -

KA9Q Mirror
An impressive early implementation of TCP/IP
Mirror directly approved by Phil Karn, KA9Q. The KA9Q NOS TCP/IP package began life way back in 1985 on a surplus Xerox 820 computer board running CP/M with a 4 MHz Zilog Z-80 CPU, 64KB of RAM and a 8" floppy drive holding all of 243KB. Later, it moved to the IBM PC with the 8088 and 80286 CPUs running MS-DOS. KA9Q NOS was only the second known implementation of the Internet protocols for low-end computers. Unlike PC/IP, KA9Q NOS could simultaneously act as an Internet client, a server and an IP packet router, and handle multiple client and server sessions. KA9Q NOS attracted many contributors and became widely used throughout the 1980s and 1990s in amateur packet radio and various educational projects. In a way, it was the Linux of its day. KA9Q NOS became the basis for several low-end commercial dialup terminal servers and routers. It influenced the development of the Internet protocols and implementations, including the Linux kernel. -
