# FreeDATA
My attempt to create a free and opensource TNC with a GUI for [codec2](https://github.com/drowe67/codec2) for sending data over HF channels. 

## Under development
This project is still a prototype and not usable at this time.
Build steps for other OS than Ubuntu are provided, but not working, yet.
