Welcome to the Universal_HamRadio_Remote_HTML5 wiki!
Universal remote user interface for radio amateurs. It is an implementation of a server written in python 3 and an interface combining JavaScript and the new HTML5 functions. This web interface allows you to use your TRX both for reception and transmission. You can use the basic functions and some advanced functions of your radio. You use your computer's speaker and microphone to communicate. This project is more oriented for voice and soon will influence CW functions.
At first, conceived as a proof of concept, it was in a few weeks that it aroused the interest of several thousand internet users, newspapers and YouTube channels. We have seen similar solutions (albeit expensive and closed) before, for example the MFJ-1234 or other products of the biggest brands, but it is always refreshing to see the open source community tackle a problem and get it wrong. appropriate. We can't wait to see where this project goes!
F4HTB, anxious to give new perspectives to those who suffer from urban QRM problems or simply from lack of space, it is harnessed to provide a tool accordingly, while taking up for it the basic ideology of amateur radio "the experiment ”In the format of“ informatics ”. He deplores all the same that, at a time when relay networks are being built via the Internet, this type of use is still not authorized and officially supervised in France. It would probably be possible to declare this type of station as a relay?
At the time of writing this article, there are many requests for additional features. Thus a system allowing authentication on the main page was implemented at the request of an American club in order to deploy it in their club. Also a panadapter type interface where we find watterfall and spectrogram is in development. In the list of things to do, there is in particular the addition of an interface to control the rotors, the addition of the PTT via the GPIOs of the raspberry pi,
The tool is functional on most HTML5 compatible browsers but its "real time" aspect seems to give some problems to some tablets and smartphones where these new HTML5 technologies are still suffering from their youth. F4HTB confirms this, although widely usable, it is not currently optimized for these devices.
This tool will maybe soon complement the HAMPI project, which consists of providing a preinstalled image of an amateur radio software suite on raspberry pi.
