Hallo friends,
|
HF is a linux ham radio fsk digimode program,
which can
do also the realtime ARQ modes without a ptc,
only
with a soundcard and a pc and linux.
The heart of the program has originally been made by Tom
Sailer, many thanks Tom!
Long time it has been sleeping
(I had no time to admin it since 2007),
now (9/2018) it has
got a new polish and lot of fixes by
Jaroslav Skarvada
<jskarvad@redhat.com>,
thanks!
I just (7/2019) uploaded Version 0.9 which is based
on his work.
You also find latest version and Jaroslav fixes

There are some great things in hf:
|
-
hf's terminal hfterm can
connect via TCP/IP with the BBS mailbox program F6FBB (well-known
from packet radio),
so you can use hf as an automatic
pactor / amtor mailbox.
-
automatic receive / transmit
and beacon functions
-
3 calibration tools, which
also can be useful for many other purposes:
dcf77rx,
also with the 'no-mmap'-option, can also to set the system
time after the German DCF77 radio clock beacon.
a circuit to
build a little longwave -> 4 MHz converter is
included.
reffreq uses any
reference tone 20 -22000 Hz.
ratecal1
(by Pawel Jalocha) uses pulsed signals, calculates your
real soundcard samplerate directly.
-
The elbug decodes your keying. Good for training. Also
with mousekeys.
Also as simple console program 'elbug' in
the package (for paddle only). (A better version of this in
github.)

There are some difficult things in hf:
|
-
hfkernel, the coding/encoding
part of the hf package, is programmed in a very close-to-hardware
way,
which means, it will not run with all hardware, just
try! I just tried and it was good on my Debian 9, old pentium.
-
It may also not like some
newer libraries... you must get old GTK 1.2.10 GUI (graphical
user interface),
how to get it is in the hf-howto.txt.
-
You must know, the modes AMTOR, GTOR and PACTOR-1 are
somewhat historic.
Enjoy it!
