I've been reading up on hamlib as I've been looking for a radio control = program to run on my Linux machine. I have a development background = (mainly Java and some C and VB) but I don't know C++ and I've never = developed for Linux. Before I tackle trying to write something from = scratch using the hamlib libraries I was looking for something already = written for my Kenwood TS-570. Can anyone point me in the right = direction? Thanks, John Chubick - KB9LNS |

We are working on a GUI to hamlib but it is in very early stage. As of writing it can turn the power ON/OFF, select the mode, filter and AGC. It has only been tested with the "dummy" backend. You can get the source code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/groundstation but you will have to use CVS with module name grig (there is also another module called fms which is a more or less complete GUI but it uses the linradio library and needs to be ported to hamlib). All of the code is written in plain C and uses the Gtk+/Gnome widgets. Then there is Kontakt using Qt2/KDE2, but I don't know about it's status.

Thanks, I'll take a look. BTW, if I can help in any way (testing, coding, etc), please let me know.

Girlfriend and LinKT ( http://1409.org/projects/linkt/ ) are higher priority right now... You can select a rig provided by hamlib from a tree view, then set freq and mode values. I have had problems generating the Makefiles outside of KDevelop. AND, inside KDevelop, it always sets --fno-exceptions, which won't let it compile. I have no idea where to change these things properly, so it's always ended in a Makefile.am hack.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? > If you want something quick to test raw functions of Hamlib, you might want to try "rigctl -vvvv -m 204" included in Hamlib (latest cvs version). As a matter of coincidence, the TS-570D capabilities were just entered last week, but it need some tests! Make sure your rig is setup to 57600 bps, or pass "--serial-speed xxx" to rigctl. Once the backend of your rig works fine, any application using Hamlib will work with your rig! Also, check with Robert or Alexandru if you're looking for a GUI. BTW, what are you interrested in Hamlib? Control a rig relocated in the attic, doppler compensation, or just playing with fun stuff? Note: Hamlib is supposed to be portable, and should work under Win32 using cygwin. Anyone interested? Cheers, Stephane F8CFE |
