My first attempt to learn more about FreeDV and how to create a TNC which gets data from a TCP/IP Socket.

```


## Run
```
./__main__.py --rx-sound-device 2 --tx-sound-device 2 --port 3000
```

## Parameters
--rx-sound-device <1>
--tx-sound-device <1>
--port <3000>

To list all audio devices run 
```
./__main__.py --list-audio-devices
```


## Socket Commands

BC:<DATA>    Send a simple broadcast



## Other stuff
