[Rigserve-devel] TS-2000 etc

[Martin E. A. <aa...@ew...>]

Jared -

Thanks for your interest in Rigserve.  Please note (and all other 
subscribers, too) that you must use the same return address when sending 
to this list as the one you registered under.  You registered under 
'rig...@ja...' but sent mail apparently from 
'ma...@ja...'.  Mail from unknown sources is automatically 
discarded - with a copy to me.

I would be delighted to have a TS-2000 backend definition for Rigserve.  
Possibly one of us could look at the problem.  The main issue is that I 
do not have one of these units to test on, and things go a *lot* faster 
if you have one available!

Hamlib will probably support your rig, but as you may know, it is not 
really designed as an IP server.  There is an RPC server interface 
available, however.

Neither Hamlib or Rigserve attempts to support audio or other signal 
modes over Internet at this point.  I believe there are other Linux 
technologies that can do that, although I have not explored them 
myself.  (Streaming audio, certainly, but that normally has buffering 
delays. VOIP solutions may behave better.)

73 & Happy New Year

Hello rigserve-devel,

I just happened across rigserver and it looks like
exactly what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for
is  a TCP/IP interface that can work on both local
networks  as  well as Internet networks. Including
PTT  Tx  audio  and  Rx  audio.  I haven't found a
complete  solution  quite  yet,  and it looks like
this one is the best so far.

Unfortunately, rigserver doesn't appear to support
my  radio  a  Kenwood TS2000. How ever Kenwood has
been  kind enough to offer the control commands in
the  freely available user manual. Found here

http://kenweb1.kenwoodusa.com/KenwoodPortal/KenwoodComm/Resources/AMA_InstructionManuals/TS-2000%20Rve2.pdf

So  it  probably isn't much of an issue to get the
TS2000  supported,  I'm  willing  to experiment if
required.

Either  that  or I'll have to keep searching for a
solution.  So  what  I'm  looking for is feed back
about  using  my  TS2000  as  a  test platform, or
perhaps   suggestions   of  other  TCP/IP  control
solutions.

I've  tried Echolink and failed because it doesn't
support  local networking, and other options don't
seem to offer Linux support, a preference I'd like
to keep.

Would  adding  the  TS2000  be a big task, or does
anyone  one  here  have  a  suggested  remote  rig
control option for Linux?

Best regards.
