SerialRTTY - minimal terminal for RTTY via local serial port (TX/RX/RTS)

Conceived by Mike Samons N8VWY for amateur radio communications use.

requires QT5 basic and serial libs, hamlib dev source

----------------------------------------------------------------------


INSTALL from source directory

Linux:

mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../serialrtty.pro
make
sudo make install


I haven't built/tested on other platforms so use good judement according to Qt best practices, you may need to edit the .pro file to target properly, etc.


Lunch the app to create the config file which can be tailored as needed.

UI will show a green bar if serial opens properly or yellow (with a message) if not. Clicking the mouse will retry the serial port initialization.

Received text will appear in the top pane. To transmit freely type in the lower pane. Timeout default is 1 sec but can be tuned to the millisecond in the config file.

Text boxes from left to right (based on ADIF fields):
  * Call - hit enter in this field to send macro in setExch line of config file (sends exchange)
  * SRX - hit enter in this field to send macro in setTU line of config file (end of contact)
  * STX - set from and saved to the config file
  * Comment - set from and saved to the config file
  
Shortcut Keys:
  * Alt-Q (CQ) sends text in setCQ line of config file
  * Alt-H (Hail) sends text in setHail line of config file
  * Alt-E (Erase) clears the Call and SRX fields
  * Alt-L (Log) 

Config file (serialrtty.conf) hints:
  * toggle stxModeSerial (Y/N) to Y to increment STX serial, set to N for constant/string
  * ioSerialPort does not seem to need the /dev for *nix environments but the rigSerPort does
