This is brilliant! To make it more enticing, I would be willing to donate a portable solar panel for field radio work, to the first developer completing that code. The only caviot is the interface should support 500-2700hz modes like varahf for winlink. Thanks Manuel and 73. De Julian

This is almost exactly what I'm working on right now (actually I'm watching your video as I'm waiting for the firmware to upload, hah). I thought about doing it it the virtual soundcard way, but decided against it. I want to throw out all Guido's amazing stuff and stream the raw I/Q data into my computer/phone and use the transceiver as an SDR. This would give me waterfall, DSP without hacks on an ancient microcontroller... Eventually I'd like to have an app in my PC/phone that I could use with the uSDX to log and record QSOs, pipe into it audio from FLdigi, CAT readout in contest loggers... On Linux this is almost trivial. The problem is making it multiplatform. Sadly, COM ports and audio are very OS-specific.
Hello. I am Dan (YO3GGX), the developer of Pocket RxTx (Android) and jAReC (Win/Linux/Mac/Pi) applications. I'm really interested to support the full set of features available in the latest beta firmware, but the information available at the link you provided is not detailed enough. Can spectrum information be available over CAT too? 73
@@dl2man I got it all working, but after going into TX mode (where it does actually produce the audio signal I'm sending properly), it's impossible to go back into RX. Sending UA1;TX0; to get into transmit, but then it seems like the device understands my ";RX;" as the samples itself. Do I misread the documentation, or is that a bug? 73 SQ3SWF
@@dl2man Thanks for tip. It works just fine and I have just completed two FT-8 QSOs using nothing but a single USB cable connecting my laptop to trusdx. :-) Got a pretty good coverage on pskreporter, 5V power only.
I have already created a simple prototype for RX only, running on Linux. Written in Python using pyserial and pyaudio. Well, works just fine for receiving digimodes using only a single USB. Working on TX part, should be any more complex than receiver :-) Unfortunately cannot post github link since it gets removed for some reason.
Got your Python script sorta kinda working on my Mac. Had to swap "/dev/ttyUSB0" for "/dev/tty.usbserial-1110" which allowed the radio audio to output to the Mac speakers, then accidentally discovered that it stays with whatever the default audio output device is at runtime, so if I set system audio out to vb-audio and then start the script, the audio sticks with the virtual interface when I swap system output back to the speakers. Then I just set wsjtx to input from vb-audio and now it's decoding FT8. Neat! (I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm having fun)
That's great! I have an unrelated question, do you think Sunny might be able to provide an assembled "classic band" (tr)uSDX? I think the lack of a pre-built classic band version is part of the reason why people buy the clones at the moment. 73
Hi, that's up to her, if she wants to provide that. You should ask her. It's her business. I'm not involved at all in the business side of this project.

That would be excellent, there has to be a number of programmers out there able to do this.👍
Great to see how much you're doing for the community, keep the faith. 73 de AI5DD
a contest would b nice
Excellent. Make it more versatile. Stay ahead of the cloners in every way we can. Keep them guessing. :)

Hi, what are you missing ? Since we're just streaming audio via cat, I don't think we can have RF spectrum, only audio spectrum. 73 Manuel DL2MAN

Anyone had any success with a virtual sound card for Windows yet? 73! de la1tpa
Yes, Guido has it running. He´s working on an installer right now. I think it will be released really soon.
