Blaise, I appreciate your offer. I regret I won't have time in the next several months to be a packaging Elmer myself. Richard, I've added you as an admin to each of these. Note that kni also is an admin for SoapySDR and swt2c is an admin for CubicSDR.

Packaging "chirp" for Fedora
by Edward Vielmetti May 28, 2023

May 28, 2023

chirp is a programming tool for HTs that supports a bunch of radios. For a lot of 2 meter radios it's way, way, way easier to deal with than punching buttons on the front panel. It looks like chirp got pulled from Fedora 31 because at the time it was dependent on Python 2, which was EOL. Fast forward a couple of releases, and now chirp is based on Python 3. Would it be of interest to try packaging it again? Richard KF5OIM (hobbes1069) looks like he was in the midst of the 2019 discussion. The new Chirp instructions at https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux specifically say "tested on Fedora 37" and give Python 3 dependencies. thanks and 73 de Ed W8EMV -- Edward Vielmetti +1 734 330 2465 edward.vielmetti(a)gmail.com

intro / Ed W8EMV in Ann Arbor MI
by Edward Vielmetti May 28, 2023

May 28, 2023

Happy to find this mailing list. By way of introduction - I'm Ed W8EMV in Ann Arbor, MI. Got my tech license in 2010 at Maker Faire Detroit, and upgraded to General in 2016. Long time shortwave listener before all of that, and I got started with ham radio software with Phil Karn's "KA9Q NOS" in the late 1980s using it at the U of Michigan to explore the early Internet. Most of my radio time is on 2 meters, or on digital modes like DMR, or listening using KiwiSDR receivers around the world or locally using GQRX. I am not an experienced Fedora user for all that - most of my command line time is either on MacOS or on a Pi running something Debian derived - but I do have quite an interest in finding and supporting software that enables amateur radio operations. In particular I'm hoping to put together a Fedora laptop system for my shack to plug various SDR devices into for remote access. I found some resources, namely these https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AmateurRadio https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/AmateurRadio/Packages If there's any other places where I could dive in to ham radio software supported on Fedora, I'm interested in hearing more. tnx es 73 de Ed W8EMV -- Edward Vielmetti +1 734 330 2465 edward.vielmetti(a)gmail.com https://vielmetti.typepad.com/w8emv https://mastodon.radio/@w8emv

Co-maintainers for my ham packages
by Matt Domsch May 26, 2022

May 26, 2022

Due to an impending move to NYC and related downsizing of my house into a 2-bedroom apartment, I'm selling all my ham radio gear. Therefore I won't be able to test any of the Fedora packages I maintain with actual hardware. Would anyone be interested in maintaining or co-maintaining these? - direwolf - Sound Card-based AX.25 TNC - CubicSDR - Cross-Platform Software-Defined Radio Panadapter - liquid-dsp - Digital Signal Processing Library for Software-Defined Radios - sdrpp - SDRPlusPlus bloat-free SDR receiver software - SoapySDR - A Vendor Neutral and Platform Independent SDR Support Library - soapy-rtlsdr - SoapySDR module for RTL-SDR hardware Thanks, Matt N5MLD

Retire xconvers?
by Richard Shaw March 17, 2022

March 17, 2022

xconvers is an ancient gtk 1 based program for having split window type communications over the radio. http://xconvers.sourceforge.net/ With modern options like FSQ or JS8Call, is anyone actually using this? It is one of a few programs preventing gtk/glib version 1 from being retired on Fedora. Thanks, Richard KF5OIM

GridTracker now available via COPR
by Matthew Chambers Oct. 6, 2021

Oct. 6, 2021

GridTracker: An amateur radio companion is now available in a Fedora COPR repo <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nr0q/GridTracker/> GridTracker is designed for Amateur radio use. It's original tag-line was: "GridTracker listens to traffic from WSJT-X and displays it on a map. It will also load ADIF log files". This was back in February of 2018. At its core GridTracker has remained true to that description but it has evolved to be a very powerful amateur radio tool and not just for FT8. GridTracker is a warehouse of amateur radio information presented in an easy to use interface, from live traffic decodes, logbooks, spot reports, weather, current solar conditions and more. I'd appreciate any and all feedback, thanks Matthew Chambers, NR0Q Dev-Ops / Server-Ops GridTracker

SDR++ is a nice panadapter display with signal decoding, similar to CubicSDR. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2003876 is the review ticket for SDR++ https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus . https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=75641411 has a rawhide scratch-build. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=75641416 has a Fedora 34 scratch build.

New to the group
by Matthew Chambers Oct. 1, 2021

Oct. 1, 2021

Hi I'm new to this email group and am wanting to look at including a ham radio software program that our team is working on in future versions of Fedora (and eventually other RHEL based distros). What I'm not finding easily is what the actual requirements to have software included in the Fedora repos? The program in question is GridTracker (licensed under the BSD 3-Clause license) with source code and RPM files available. Thanks and 73 Matthew Chambers NR0Q Dev Ops - GridTracker Server Ops - Off Air Message Service https://gridtracker.org https://gitlab.com/gridtracker.org/gridtracker

Fedora 34 experience?
by Richard Shaw July 5, 2021

July 5, 2021

I usually wait a month or two after a new release to allow things to calm down but I've already seen a few people post with issues with pipewire. Anyone have a success story or gripe? I may upgrade this weekend since I have Monday off to troubleshoot if needed. Thanks, Richard KF5OIM
