Hmmm  what  a  bugger,  I  looked at the message I
sent, and it had rig...@ja... for the
>From  field.  I'm  using  google apps to manage my
e-mail  at  jaredharvey.com,  I  guess Google must
toss  the  ma...@ja... in the header some
where.  Hmmm  not sure what I can do about that. I
CCed  myself  on  this  one  so  I can look at the
header.

I have one available, but at my site. It's my only
HF rig and I'm not currently willing to ship it. I
can  grant  you  SSH permissions to the machine it
will be connected to. I could probably setup a web
cam  so you can see the radio display if required.
At  the moment I have the materials to make the PC
interface , but I haven't soldered it up yet. I've
been  waiting  until  I had a software solution in
hand,  incase it influences my interface design. I
currently  plan on doing transformer isolation for
the  audio signals, 232 RTS for PTT, and 232 Tx Rx
for  radio  control data. I can setup the 232 part
quite  quickly  and  you  noted  you don't support
streaming  at this time. So audio is probably less
important.  Simply  connecting  a  232 cable to it
shouldn't be that big of a deal.

I've  found  many  streaming  options, but haven't
found a solution that allows PTT via 232 RTS line.
I'd  prefer not using VOX. What I'm really looking
for  is  something  like  the http://www.w4mq.com/
setup, but I'd prefer Linux based.

If  my constraints are ones you can work with, let
me  know  and I'll start setting it up. Items I'll
have  to  do include, moving the radio and PC next
to   each  other,  ethernet  at  this  point  will
probably  be  wireless,  then allowing SSH through
the firewall machine to my local net.

Best regards.
