Regrettably, Bob is now a Silent Key. I've edited the wiki page to remove that line and noted SK on his name. Any Fedora Project member can, with an account, update the wiki page themselves, and I encourage you to do so.

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks Matt.

I tried following the instructions at

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AmateurRadio

and got a bounce back for email to "bob@fedoraunity.org". Is there
a new best contact for that address (so that the wiki can be incrementally
more up to date?)

thanks again

If you are a ham radio operator or a fedora packager/maintainer that is interested in getting some radio related packages in the the Fedora package collection add your name to the members section or send an email to bob@fedoraunity.org with the subject "SIG: Fedora Hams"

Welcome Ed. N5MLD here. I had been using an RTL-SDR device for a couple years and packaged up the CubicSDR and SDR++ GUI packages, along with the SoapySDR device drivers. That combination worked pretty well. There are Soapy drivers for other hardware, but not all are packaged in Fedora mostly due to lack of hardware in the hands of the packagers.  If you're into 2m or 70cm APRS or other packet radio, the direwolf package is quite good for transmitting or receiving/decoding APRS or running your own digipeater.

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


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
