Introduction
TraKbox is a utility to automate some manual processes using the program MAP65 of Joe
K1JT
and Linrad of Leif SM5BSZ.
In MAP65 to select a frequency, click
on the waterfall, and this frequency becomes
tuned and decoding, in the main window of MAP65.
The same frequency is used by Trakbox
to set to TX connected to the computer
via serial interface.
Trakbox can also send the coordinates of the Moon at the interface
of satellite tracking.
From Linrad 3.14, Leif made
available the remote function for frequency set.
Trakbox use
this function and set the frequency on Linrad.
This feature is widely used because I normally use 2
pc for EME traffic.
Linux runs on the first PC and on the second runs MAP65
and WSJT.
For WSJT need a
audio input coming from Linux, and here is the need to set the frequency on Linrad.
Summing up whenever I select a frequency on
MAP65, Trakbox
automatically sets the frequency for the transmission and frequency for reception
on Linrad for WSJT.
Trakbox was
written for personal use but probably be useful to other users of MAP65 / Linrad
