Please include ARDOPC (both cmd utility and beta GUI) in the distribution.
https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/ARDOPC.html
https://github.com/DigitalHERMES/ardopc
These can go in /opt/bin (or wherever) and be added to PATH
As far as I can tell, this software is neither Free Software nor Open Source software, and thus I will not include it in AHRL. If you can find a license document to the contrary, please let me know.

"old school" users certainly can organize their stuff in ways that make them hard to find.
The source code is in an archive on the author's website:
https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/ARDOPProjects.zip
In the ARDOPOFDM folder, there's the source code for the modem and a gpl.txt, it's licensed under GPLv3.
Note on running the provided precompiled binaries from the author, ardopc links to a 32 bit libasound.so.2.
The package libasound2:i386 will need to be installed for it to run.
ARDOP_GUI will require the libqt5widgets:i386 (and all dependant) packages to be installed.

I verified that indeed this software is Free Software - thanks, Tyler, for that pointer.
However, my attempts to compile it have been in vain. Have you successfully compiled it on a modern Linux version, and if so, what did you do? Maybe I'm missing something simple.
Thanks, and 73,

I've been contributing to a fork (MIT), here: https://github.com/pflarue/ardop
It will compile, either the master or develop branch with just 'make'
It's compatible with ardop1 on the air. We haven't yet started working on the GUI side of things.
It works really good.

#10Hi Tyler,
That new link looks MUCH better: https://github.com/pflarue/ardop
It compiled without any issues.
I'm tying it in to the menu system, etc.
There's a very high probability that this will be in the next release of AHRL.
Thanks for the suggestion, and 73,

Hi Tyler,
Is there anything akin to a man page for ardopcf? With command line programs for ham radio, I like to put a documentation link in the menu system. This gives users a place to start, but more than that, they'll see "ardopcf" and know that it is there.
Thanks, and 73,

There's no man page as this program isn't packaged for distribution and descriptive documentation isn't finished (yet)
I've been working on documentation for it though, incomplete but has useful information, here: https://github.com/pflarue/ardop/tree/master/docs
Specifically, a good place to start: https://github.com/pflarue/ardop/blob/master/docs/About.md
ARDOP will be in the next AHRL release. I took the README.md file and tied it to a documentation menu. That'll be OK for now.
Thanks, and 73,
Andy
