FreeDATA/README.md

FreeDATA

My attempt to create a free and opensource TNC with a GUI for codec2 to send 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.

Credits

• David Rowe and the FreeDV team for developing the modem and libraries - FreeDV Codec 2 : https://github.com/drowe67/codec2
• xssfox, her repository helped me a lot in an early stage of development - xssfox : https://github.com/xssfox/freedv-tnc
• Wolfgang, for lending me his radio so I'm able to do real hf tests

Running the Ubuntu app bundle

Just download the latest developer release from the releases section, unpack it and just start the ".AppImage file". No more dependencies
