(9600 not possible without access to radio modulator).

Strong desire to handle up to 9600 baud on VHF.

Some considerations regarding interfaces: ☐ Test with APRS (☑ Audio relay with Soundmodem) ☐ Test with Winlink (☑ Audio relay with Soundmodem) ☐ Design state machine for switching between modes (☑ Audio relay Tx/Rx only) ☐ Design and test radio interface circuits (☑ UV-5R) ☑ Research and prioritize modulation modes ☐ Develop audio streaming over BT (deprioritized) ☑ Develop audio streaming over UDP ( PC->ESP32 ☑, ESP32->PC ☑) ☑ Develop digital->analog conversion (Tx) ☑ Develop analog->digital conversion (Rx) If that's you, please leave a comment to let me know :) I hope someone finds some part of this useful. Lastly, I will document my progress here for anyone interested in the thought process, and I will make demos available as I go along, and ultimately the entire codebase will be on github. I intend to take the hard way and reinvent the wheel in many cases in order to truly understand how packet radio works and to be able to optimize as needed.

Lastly, this will be a learning experience. I intend to minimize parts as much as possible, although some electronics in addition to the ESP32 are inherently necessary, i.g.

That got me thinking about many other ways the ESP32 could be used as a packet radio interface, not only as an audio relay but also as a full-blown packet modem, an audio signal analyzer, and an APRS modem or gateway.įor this project, I will interface to an Icom ID-5100a and a Boafeng UV-5R, since that's what I have, but the modem will be easily reconfigurable for virtually any HF or VHF/UHF radio, with some manual cable or headset hacking.

Fldigi baofeng Bluetooth#

Unable to participate without a digital interface for my radios, I dug through my parts bin and had the idea of using an ESP32 as a Bluetooth audio relay. After I joined the local ARES chapter in March, I tuned in to an over-the-air activity day, learned about this group's use of Winlink for coordination between EMCOMM stations, and observed an exercise simulating an emergency scenario. I am a new ham, with a mobile radio, a couple of HTs, a modest budget, and an interest in supporting emergency communications. It will be functionally similar to a combination of a wireless version of the Signalink USB soundcard ($140) and a Mobilinkd TNC3 ($120), for a small fraction of the price of each of these commercial units individually.

The device provides two operating modes: 1) audio relay services for use with modem software on the controlling PC, and 2) as a packet radio modem.

Fldigi baofeng Pc#

This ESP32-based device attaches to the mic/audio-in and speaker/audio-out jacks of virtually any ham radio and connects to a controlling PC via USB, Wifi, or Bluetooth. Please respect this.This project aims to develop a dirt-cheap, open-source, highly reconfigurable, wireless PC-radio interface to support various packet radio modes. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola). The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.įor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios.

Fldigi baofeng series#

Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value.
