- Select your audio device for transmitting. It - must be using a sample rate of - 48000Hz -
-- Select your audio device for receiving. It - must be using a sample rate of - 48000Hz -
-- This section is where you configure rig control method (none - (VOX) or hamlib) for both GUI and TNC. For the best experience - hamlib control is recommended. -
-- Select "None/Vox" if you want to use Vox for triggering PTT. - No connection to rigctld will be established. No frequency - information is availble. -
-- Select "Hamlib" if you want to have more control over your - radio. Define your hamlib settings in settings, and click the - start button to start rigctld. You may use the 'PTT test' - button to ensure rig control is working. -
-- Enter your callsign and SSID. Your callsign can have a maximum - length of 7 characters -
-- Enter your position as a 4 or 6 digit grid square, also known - as a maidenhead locator. Six digits are recommended. -
-- The auto updater loads the latest version from Github and - installs it automatically. You can select the update channel - in settings. Once an update has been downlaoded, you need to - confirm the auto-installation and restart. -
-- Alpha releases are more frequent and contain the latest - features, but are likely to be unstable and introduce bugs. -
-- Beta releases are more stable than Alpha releases. They are a - good tradeoff between latest features and stability. They will - be updated less often. A beta release has not been released - yet. -
-- Stable releases are the most stable versions with no known - major issues. A stable release has not been released yet. -
-- Local / Remote switch. If the TNC is running on the same - computer as the GUI, select local. Otherwise choose remote and - enter the IP/Port of where the TNC is running. -
-- Remote IP of TNC. Port is port of daemon. The tnc port will - automatically adjusted. ( daemon port - 1 ) -
-- Start or stop the TNC service. The TNC daemon must be running - and will work whether the TNC is local or remote. -
-- -38 dBFS (Audio Level) -
-- Represents the level of audio from transceiver. Excessively - high levels will affect decoding performance negatively. -
-- -24 S-Meter (dBm) -
-- Represents noise level of the channel from the transceiver. - Requires hamlib rig control. -
-- Adjust volume level of outgoing audio to transceiver. For best - results lower the level so that a minimum amount of ALC is - used. Can be used in combination with rig's mic/input gain for - furthrer refinement. -
-Create a recording of current channel
-- Send a ping to a remote station by entering a callsign and - optional SSID (-0 will be used if not specified.) - Alternatively click on a station in the heard station list to - populate the call sign field. If the remote station decodes - the ping it will transmit a reply. If able to decode the - reply, a signal report will be listed in the heard station - list. -
-Sending out a CQ CQ CQ to the world.
-- Sends a periodic broadcast (duration is definable in settings) - that announces you are available. Check explorer to see other - active stations that may have decoded your beacon. -
-- Displays a waterfall for activity of current channel. -
-- Green when channel is open and changes to red to indicate - there is activity on the channel. -
-- Changes to green when Codec2 data is detected on channel. -
-- Displays a plot of last decoded message. A constellation plot - is a simple way to represent signal quality. -
-- Shows history of SNR and bit rate of messages. -
-- Stations that you've been able to decode will be listed here. - Details such as time, frequency, message type, call sign, - location and SNR will be listed. Existing entries are updated - if they already exist and more detailed history can be viewed - in chat window for each station. -
